Subject: Some more Mars & Saturn
The past weekend was very clear in Toronto, but I was away!! Still I squeezed in some imaging time on Friday night and Sunday night.
Mars turned out quite well with just a colour ccd, showing subtle surface details.
I've been having trouble with Saturn this year, it seems dimmer than normal or perhaps lower in the sky than past years? As a result I brought out the big 12" and the seeing was pretty good for the red channel showing a lot of banding. The green & blue were not very good.
