3 planets in red light. 14th March was created by derek0207
Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. Taken last Monday night on the 14th.
Dont have a filter wheel so just left the red filter on. Seeing was very bad at the time so I figured the red light might be disturbed less by the atmosphere.

Celstron C8, ASI120MM, 2x barlow + red filter. Stacked in AS2! and processed in gimp.

Jupiter: About 3000 frames . Europa is also visible
Mars: About 5000 frames.
Saturn: About 2000 frames. Very low in the sky at the time.

Nice images Derek, there's good detail on both Mars and Jupiter, despite the poor seeing.

That is Europa on Jupiter! I saw it myself. Great shot! And your Mars image is quite good really, Derek.
