Seeing was good! Subtle processing to keep moon details.

My money shot was going to be GRS at the limb exiting with Ganymede front and center transiting the planet.

Conditions were very good. Processed a little more contrast especially the shadow ring area which I believe lost the division a bit. Mimas, spokes, lots of fun. Near perfect color correction.

This planet is a tough one to get unless seeing is good. It's getting larger though so thats good. Mars has a nice phase going and the polar ice cap up North is really good.

SATURN, TITAN, No spokes

Conditions were above average as the planet drifts further from the Earth. The shadow on the ring is now on the left, Titan was visible in the shot. Ring Shadow flipped top side. Subtle process

FINALLY GOOD WEATHER! Seeing was good! The planet was 55-60 degrees up and this is only 20 minutes of data. Loving the red spot on the Southern pole. Jupiter looks very fun this year.
