Ballard Loc: Grass Valley, California

Last night the sky was slightly better (seeing 4 out of 10). I still could only stack ~20% of the images but the slightly better seeing improved some of the planetary detail. As before the Red channel had the most detail and can be seen in the last pictures in the set. The red channels where used in the full color images posted also (except for the second image of Jupiter where I didn't include a red channel image since it seemed redundant).
Below are shots of Mars, Saturn and 2 of Jupiter taken 10 minutes apart, if you flash between the two images of Jupiter you can get an idea of how faster Jupiter rotates and also see how fast one of its moons changes position (The moon seen in those images is Europa). All questions, suggestions and comments are welcome.

My Best shot yet of Mars.

Decent shot but Saturn is fairly low towards the southern Horizon.

Red easily visible and Europa is off to the left

10 minutes later not how much the red spot has moved and the positional change in Europa

More detail visible in the the red channel image of Mars

These are great. If it didn't take such a high dollar investment in gear I would jump into this category of photography in a heart beat.

Amazing! Haven't got the patience, the gear or nighthawk genes. I can do early mornings!

Hi Retired CPO
Thanks for the comment and checking out the images. There is definitely some dollar investment to take this type of photo, however getting started in astronomical photography can be done with your DSLR, standard lens and a simple tracker. Of course once you get hooked the cost can add up, but you cannot take it with you and learning new things helps me keep my wits now that I'm retired.

Hi quixdraw
Thanks for the comment and checking out the images. This hobby helps me learn new things but I do stay up late (or get up real early) sometimes.

Outstanding set of images

Back in the 1970s I had access to a 12 1/2" Newtonian. Took a lot of photos , on film of course.
Mars was making a close pass, 1976(?).
But these a waaay better than anything I took.
Very nice.
