Jupiter and Io
From the balcony observatory, the Jupiter season, which was shitty even at its best, is ending. It’s less the horizon’s problem, for Jupiter hides behind a building, but more the altitude’s. The usual gear HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher
Using the usual gear HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher I recorded 300k frames of which the best got into the picture below. Seeing conditions were outright bad with some clearish moments, same as the last few days. It’s a boiling soup up there.
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

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, 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
