After almost a year of inactivity in the field of planetary imaging,
I dusted off my 360mm diameter and 1800mm focal length Newtonian telescope,
equipped with ADC atmospheric dispersion corrector and 10mm projection eyepiece to lengthen the focal length to a slightly higher value.
at seven meters. The typical subjects of this period,Jupiter and Saturn,were too inviting not to attempt a shooting session.
The atmospheric conditions perhaps wanted to reward me,
so much so that I have probably obtained among the best shots I have ever obtained on the giant planets of the Solar System.
I propose them to you and I hope they will be useful for the study of the atmosphere of these planets.

With early evening conditions not great,I again limited myself to multiple monitoring R and IR's. Nothing significant to note.
