Description

I experienced good seeing, but some light ground fog/haze that apparently softened the image and reduced the color of the disk. It was one of those nights when just about everything was challenging - cables, batteries, focus, software, etc. I wanted to image with my ASI224 camera but simply couldn't get the planet in the FOV. I settled for imaging with my Canon T3i at a much lower frame rate.

The total focal length is an estimate -  it might be low. I used an f/10 C8 SCT with the removable ~1.3x Baader barlow lens from their Q-Turret 2.25X barlow screwed into the bottom of the ADC and the 5x button pressed in Backyard EOS.
