Captures of the Moon and then a capture of Saturn and Jupiter with the 2x Extender and 300mm, on the crop sensor.
The moon is a little further apart from the planets than shown here where I combined. But the placement of Saturn and Jupiter is as they were captured, showing their apparent distance apart from each other as seen in our sky, compared to the size of the moon.
When viewed large you can see the rings on Saturn, and then at Jupiter you can see two of the moons faintly.
In this photo, brightness was reduced by changing conditions of shooting and development to show a character of Saturn. In Nagoya, Japan.

Happy Sliders Sunday!

With the convergence finally here, of the five days heading into the date there were clear skies to capture the planets as their apparent motion brought them together and then captures of the moon to share the comparison to distance apart to the size of the moon as seen from the earth. The captures taken for this were with my 300mm prime lens, 2x Extender, and the Canon 7D Mark II crop sensor.
The composite here showing the four nights and changes in position between the two planets each evening turned out pretty cool I think.
If you view LARGE you can see the rings on Saturn and some of the moons around Jupiter and how they change position on each evening.
rechtzeitig nach dem Sonnenuntergang zeigte sich der Himmel klar, Jupiter & Saturn standen dicht beieinander. Mit der Nikon COOLPIX B700 konnte ich es festhalten, wenn auch mit Unschärfe, aber sogar vier Monde des Jupiters waren zu sehen. Im Vergleich aus dem Programm Stellarium eine Ansicht.
Had another go at the planets last night , here is Saturn shot with my Skywatcher Quattro 250P Scope and QHY 183mc Pro cam. image was made up of a short AVI vid that had 1000 frames that were then run through software to pick and stack the best 30 percent of frames.
This image is a composite of three stacks, using Starry Sky Stacker:
1. A set of ~50 images was stacked in two parts, one for the moons of Jupiter and one for Saturn, because the planets moved with respect to each other during the imaging. ISO 10000, 1/100 sec exposure.
2. A set of ~300 images with slightly lower exposure (ISO 4000, 1/100 sec) was stacked to produce the image of Jupiter.

Following on from the previous image, Saturn and four of its satellites: Tethys, Enceladus, Dione & Rhea. imaged during the early hours of the 21st July.
Saturn entered Aries at 11:36 PM last night. This is my first Saturn Return self-portrait of 3 -- this one taken when it goes into the sign of Aries (00°), the second taken when it reaches 01° (the degree my Saturn is in), the third when it reaches 01.19° (the precise degree my Saturn sits at).
Saturn in Aries is considered to be in Fall, as it's in the opposite sign to its Exaltation -- that's not a good thing, but it can be a good thing if you work it right. Just in a kinda idiosyncratic way.
Saturn is all about hard work and discipline, and Aries is fiery, impatient energy. One of the various strengths of Saturn in Aries is the development of a strong sense of self throughout life via various challenges surrounding identity/self-expression/self-assertion.
People born from roughly April 7th 1996 to June 8th 1998 will be experiencing their first Saturn Return at this time (though for those born later, it won't hit exactitude for quite a while). For those who don't have their Saturn in Aries, they will be experiencing this energy more generally; the hard lessons of life will begin to take on a more Martial tinge.
Identity, self-assertion, and action will be called for, as opposed to the spiritual restructuring that occurred during Saturn's transit through Pisces from 2023-till yesterday.
According to the Ancient Texts, anyway. :)

A beautiful blue hour conjunction of the Moon, Venus, and Saturn on the evening of 2023-01-22. Taken from Honolulu, Hawaii.
I was stunned by what the camera and lens can actualy capture. Cropped to within an inch of its life, its a handheld shot of Saturn from our back garden.

Imaged on the evening of the 19th September this is the planet Saturn presently in the constellation of Aquarius.
The image is the result of separate RGB filter runs combined and derotated in Winjupos. The planet was at an altitude of 22° - so seeing was not very good!
The pastel hues are due to complex layers of gases.
Saturn's upper atmosphere is comprised of ammonia ice, while deeper levels are believed to contain ammonium hydrosulphide and water. Each of these contributes to the planet’s colour palette.
Seasonal changes and the angle of sunlight causes subtle shifts in these atmospheric colours. The result is a dynamic and ever changing appearance depending on these factors.
The planet is banded like Jupiter but the bands are more faint and are broader at the equator which can be seen in the image.
Imaged with a Celestron C11 SCT and a ZWO 290MM mono with Baader RGB filters.
Many thanks for looking!

En estos días fríos de invierno, la atmósfera está limpia, las nubes han desaparecido y los ocasos son todo un espectáculo de azules, naranjas, rojizos...
Hoy se unen a estos colores espectaculares una fina luna creciente junto a Venus y Saturno, paseándose por el cielo crepuscular de Espejo.
Saturn imaged during the early hours of the 13th August in very poor seeing conditions with a lot of high cloud around.
I was also observing the planet over rooftops that were radiating heat after a hot day so not ideal! Focus was difficult.
Three satellites are visible in the image. The brightest, Titan, is visible top left, with (anticlockwise) Tethys left of the planet and finally Enceladus lower right.
South is uppermost in this image.
Imaged with a Celestron C11, ZWO 290MM camera and Baader RGB filters.

L'étoile "Star Test" (Deneb) m'a servi pour vérifier ma collimation.
Supermond über dem Bayrischen Oberland...nach erfolgreich abgewehrter "Attacke" der Kälber, die es auf meinen Nachbarn und mich abgesehen hatten...Ralf's Vermutung, dass es nicht der Mond sei, sondern der Saturn, ist nicht so abwegig bei diesen Mond-Wolken-Ringen :-))...oder doch Jupiter?? :-))))
Well, it's Slider Sunday and I've not been allowed out to take photo's of anything, So .....

I'm wishing Perseverance (Mars explorer) the best of luck, may it outlive Spirit and Opportunity (previous explorers) that both lasted well beyond their sell by date.
As an engineer I'm in complete awe of the design of these remote exploration robots and I'm not a "rah rah" sort of person but Go NASA!
