That's a very good start.

Next time you may want to try using the video function of your D800. Take a 3-minute video of each planet trying your best to nail the focus and then put that video through Autostakkert3! ((use the default settings) then Adobe Lightroom I'd like to see if we can amp up you're results.

There are inexpensive AP programs that will help you capture that video. You can use Astrophotography Tool (APT) or Backyard Nikon (BYN). I'm not sure if N.I.N.A. takes video but I know somebody will chime in and let us know.

Hi Metastable. You have very good first planetary images and I agree with JT as you need to try and adjust the focus on your D800. Otherwise the belting, rings, and colors are all there! Thanks for sharing these captures with us Metastable and keep at it.
