Dean Watson Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 You know, such rubbish seeing this year I'm thinking of moving to another planetary system. Gott in himmel, the seeing was rubbish last night. Jupiters past its best and Mars and Saturn are too low to be worth bothering. Looks like they were underwater. Just ordered an ADC so hope that helps, still... Be kind, not my best work but best I could do with the conditions.

+Graham Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Dont be so hard on yourself Dean. With the position Mars and Saturn are in they are great shots. Its not easy trying to shoot through the largest amount of atmosphere . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'll be interested in seeing your results using the ADC Dean. What scope are you using ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I used an ADC Sat night with the C11 and it did make a difference visually On saturn with the ADC I mangaed to get the cassini division with out the ADC I could not make it out unlike the night before (Fri) My local seeing that low down is bad as I am looking dirrectly over roof tops that are giving their heat up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Watson Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hi all, yes me too in answer to Rob - CPC1100 with altair gpcam. done a super Jupiter before so I know its not me or the scope, just our rubbish atmosphere. Sooner our planetary iron core freezes, the magnetic field stops and the sun strips away our atmosphere like it did for Mars the better as far as I'm concerned. Well's Martians didn't know when they had it good. And they caught shocking colds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithysteve Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I understand your frustration Dean but Its not worth bursting a blood vessel about. It is what it is... It's probably not too bad viewing them from Tenerife , but there must be worse places to be than in the Spalding area... We just have to make the most of it. I would love to be able to see the smc and lmc from here but hey ho! I ain't moving! Your images are very good under the circumstances. They are real looking and I like that, so Nice work! ?
