I took a couple of images last night, I've stacked them quickly with no real thought, so here they are.

I've also taken some system images as well.  For some reason my laptop does not like the images but they work fine on my work and home PC's.  Enjoy.

P.S. If I have the moon wrong let me know.

Hi Chris,

Nice images - Did you take two separate images (i.e. one of the moons & one of the planets) & stack them for the composite. I'm having problems getting SMP9 to agree with what you say the moons are. I don't think Enceladus is correct on Saturn & I believe you may have Ganymede & Callisto around the wrong way. I'm sure someone else can confirm. Exactly what time did you image - it will help to identify.

Anyhow great images - Your scope gives a really nice wide view.

Cheers,

John.

Oops, for those of you who have your contrast set correctly on your monitor, you will see where I've adjusted the images, I'll fix this as soon as I get time.

Also the images we're taken on the 14th at 2:18am Jupiter and 2:05am Saturn.  Hope that helps to find the moons.

Nice Images Chris. Especially like the system ones.

Hi Chris,

I was equally impressed with your system images - You inspired me to try for Saturn/ Jupiter moons myself.

My attempt is on my webpage at:

I'm quite pleased with the result,

Cheers

Stunning images. As soon as Rick gets back into action, we'll have to get some of these onto the gallery pages.

I am speechless!!!
