Description

My primary target that night was Mars, but the seeing was good so I shot Jupiter and Saturn as well. By the time I was imaging Jupiter, however, it was ony 21 degrees above a very light-polluted horizon. With the ADC placed after the barlow, the effective focal length was greater than the calculated 2,032mm x 2.5 = 5,080mm. I thought the image to be a bit large for the quality of the details, so reduced the size of the image somewhat.

I stacked and processed the best 14 percent of 3,600 frames.
