Jupiter and Io
From this year’s standard gear, HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher I observed Jupiter and Io on the evening sky. The Jupiter season is mostly over, as is the Saturn season, but one may still capture some nice shots.
I imaged Saturn from my balcony. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, 200k frames, decent but not good seeing
The early evening, still blue sky has its own charm, when it lets through the planets. The Jupiter season is kinda over, but it’s still possible to capture good frames. On the second one, the blue sky is subtracted and the gamma is adjusted to compensate for the lost brightness. 20:01 local time, HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher
Jupiter, Io
Jupiter, Io – the sky is subtracted, gamma adjusted
Jupiter,, Ganymede, Io and Europa
The blue sky is what it is: my passion. That I start to observ early in the evening to catch something. Anything. So here it is: Jupiter on the still bright sky. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher

Jupiter and Io, still blue sky
HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher
HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, above average seeing, the input was about 450k raw frames
It has become a routine to observe Jupiter and Saturn from my home observatory on the balcony, so nothing new here. ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5 home observatory mountpusher
Very good seeing conditions, at the beginning. ASI 224MC, TSO ADC, N250/1200, HEQ5, home observatory, mountpusher
Jupiter, 32 frames of 1:35 with 1:25 gaps
Using the ASI 224MC, on the N250/1200, HEQ5, home observatory, mountpusher. Obviously a mosaic. Here’s the full resolution. I look forward to develop an auto-mapping function for automatically scanning the solar and lunar surface, but maybe there are more important things in life. The picture below is a good pair for the Moon 2019-07-20
