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

A windy night with poor seeing. I was able to record only with the infrared filter.

Below a comparison between 2 images with the same setup. 20% of 100 sec video

I’ve found some “vintage” shoots, from 10 years ago.

Poor seeing, but some results mainly on jupiter. All shoots was done with an IR filter to mitigate the seeing.

This is my last session of the year and the first of the year on the red planet, good result, at all.
