2021-10-01 05:24UT. We had another visibility of the Red Spot. Taking a set of recordings to pick the sharpest result and making a time-lapse of the total series. For the AVI recording I started to use 10frames.

2021-09-24 03:44UT and 05:23UT. It took a while this year to start the first observation of the gas giants planets but tonight we have a nice comparison of Jupier and Saturm using the same telescope and camera setup. We can see Jupiter being much closer and bigger. The seeing conditions were variable and could be better.
