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.

Saturn and its family 2019-10-01
With the usual gear I laboriously put together the passed months, I imaged Saturn and its moons. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher Mimas and Enceladus are visible, beyond the cliche Titan, Rhea, Dione and Tethys. By the way, this evening (together with Jupiter) was the first light of the second soapbox hardware.
Saturn 2019-09-22
This was an exceptional night with good seeing, rivaling only a night I had in August. About 300k frames went into this Saturn, with the usual setup HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher. In the meanwhile I finished a clone of my mountpushing soapbox, with the exact same components, the exact same soapbox, I only made it a circuit board instead of the cable spaghetti the first one has become after adding and adding functionality, like the buzzer and the RJ45 socket for the focuser. But the soapbox is another story. Overexposing the final stack, to my surprise, reveals some of the fainter moons of Saturn, near the planet – I removed the uneven background from the final picture.

HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, very bad seeing conditions
Saturn 2019-09-21
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.

I imaged Saturn from my balcony. HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, 200k frames, decent but not good seeing
Saturn 2019-08-11
HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, above average seeing, the input was about 450k raw frames
