Hi all. Now that the planetary imaging season for this year is over, I have time to share some of the work over the last few months. Here are some of the better results this year:
A good single Jupiter image, from July
Images of Jupiter for a duration of 2 hours (early May) and created a .gif of its rotation
This is my best Saturn to date. Even captured the polar hexagon.
This Mars image was taken about 24 hours after a dust storm was first visible from Earth. The storm is still small at this point, circled here
By the time this image was taken a month later, the dust storm had covered the whole planet and no features were visible
Finally, this image is from late September. Mars is far away by this point, but the dust had settled and surface features were visible again
This is a collage of Venus images that I took from March until mid-September, showing Venus approaching Earth, getting larger and entering its crescent phase
Uranus
Neptune
One of my favorite lunar craters, Gassendi
Pythagoras crater
All images with my Celestron 8" scope and a ZWO ASI224MC planetary imaging camera, taken in Nebraska.
