Another Planet

Yesterday, I got up close to 13:00. After breakfast, we went to the observatory quickly to prep for the night. Once that was done, most of us went for a shorter hike to Mt. Lemmon. I left with Eric about three quarters of the way there, because I had something to do and his ankle was hurting a bit. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable hike, and as always there was a great view.
As 18:00 rolled around, we began to track Jupiter again. This time, we used the larger 105 mm lens. Jupiter instantly looked better, though not too much; I think some of that had something to do with us looking at a larger image. We got some nice images; collectively we are getting better at using RegiStax courtesy of reading the entire manuel. This has allowed us to make stacked images with some more detail.
The nebula and Saturn teams were able to use the telescope since the viewing conditions were much more clear. I helped out the Saturn group since I had experience in planet imaging from Jupiter. We started off with some trouble locating Saturn, because the coordinates listed out in the computer were a bit off. After an hour or so of circling the area, we were able to find it. Saturn looks pretty cool; it looks like someone made a fake object, took a picture of it, and called it a planet. It simply looks surreal. We have yet to do much with imaging Saturn, but they should look pretty cool.
