Jupiter - not too shabby for being low and late in the season.
All the rest of this past, and quite productive Jupiter season (

Mars
All the rest of this season (https://plus.google.com/photos/+MichaelAPhillips/albums/5962944171620737953?banner=pwa)
and the mighty Saturn sporting a 20 degree ring angle!
Here's last years collection (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+MichaelAPhillips/albums/5842690900648084529)
Still working on this years! This is only the 3rd shot and 2nd with this camera.
The 7th's images are...
Mars' animation of nearly 1 hours worth of rotation
Final derotated image
And finally Saturn from the 1st night!
More of my Astronomy work on the main page: http://maphilli14.webs.com/
Also these images were assembled in an automated fashion with some custom scripts in sikuli and python. The total time in the stacking program AutoStakkert2 and the sharpening program AstraImage is seen in my Resucetime stats for the week:
4h 34m of automated AstraImage stacking and 3h 34m of AS2 stacking = 8hrs and 8min of time back in my life instead of babysitting mundane programs that made me bored out of my mind! ;) Yay for automation! Basically it frees me up to surf reddit on my cell phone! haha!
