Description

Because of the Mars Opposition of 2018, I put some focus on planetary imaging this year. As always, I tried to be as frugal as possible with my choice of equipment and after a good deal of work I think I can stamp it as a success. The image shows all these targets at the same scale for a decent comparison of how these appear in the sky.

I learned a lot and even more about what NOT to do. These were my first attempts planetary imaging with a Newtonian reflector. The equipment used: a TPO 12” Imaging Newtonian with a 5x Televue Powermate and ASI174MM-Cool.

Happy New Year!!!
