Using the ASI 178MM (cooled) and ASI 462MC (cooled), with various barlow setups, for Venus the Baader K-Line Filter 1.25″ (double stacked), TS-Optics 76/342 TS76EDPH, mountpusher, EQ3-mod, I observed Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, as best as possible with the rather modest setup and inadequate ersatzobservatory, which isn’t even an observatory, just a good patch of sky and an open window. Still, I got maybe some detail on Venus, Jupiter’s clouds with Io’s shadow and Io, and Saturn with the Cassini gap, give or take. Thank you, real estate maffia, thank you.
This is Saturn as imaged at 2020-07-29 21:52Z, with HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher

Due to the very few light, exposure times needed to be at around >100ms and gain pushed to > 3/4 of the slider to get meaningful results.
Using the instruments in the balcony observatory, HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, I imaged Jupiter and Saturn, with HD188546 photobombing the jovial family.
