Very good seeing condition, all shots were taken in Zola Predosa, near my personal observatory, BUT on the side of the hill overlooking the plain. This confirm me that my usual position is affected by bad seeing.

Finally, I’ve found what I’m searching for. The perfect night!
It’s a long time since I’ve searched for it, clear sky, during the focus procedure I’ve noticed that it was easy. Lots of details during the film. That night payed the effort of the entire journey.

The second night of a journey in Trentino, at Passo Coe at 1610mt.

At the first alarm clock the sky was totally covered by clouds, but an hour later the clouds have cleared. The session can start!

A strong low-altitude wind disturbed the session.

The first night of a journey in Trentino, at Passo Coe at 1610mt.

The wind is absent, some clouds. Unstable image of the planet at the eyepiece. Visually it seems more brilliant than I’m used to seeing it. From my usual location in Bologna, I see it with a color more sandy.

Wonderful night, very nice seeing and clear sky. Again I’ve tested the collimation recording the airy disk, this time the collimation was closer to perfect.

I’ve done a total of 14×60 sec videos, for a total of almost 84.000 single frames, during the processing I’ve selected 20% of each film

For the RGB 3 video for R/G channel and 4 for the B channel

Good night, no wind and a nice seeing. I was able to capture only with the IR filter. Working with the Powermate 5X the scope was working at f/24!

Again a windy night, I’ve used the Powermate 5X to reach almost 9mt of focal length.

Apparently a good night, maybe with too much wind from south.

The session started with some tests on the airy disk. The purpose of this first set of videos was to identify possible problems with the optical set, I’ve always noticed that the B channel is much worse than the R or IR one.

And finally the wide-field version, double exposure, June for the planets and one for the moons.

Very good night

Good night at all, some veils.

Jupiter shows a lot of details, to notice the GRS on the left side just before run away.
During the night I was able to shoot an airy disk. It shows a slight misalignment.

Here the best shoot of the night
