Re: A couple of planets
Because of the recent high interest in both Jupiter and Saturn, as well as the misinformation going around... See Clint's thread on that subject...
I temporarily posted your images, (with proper credit), on our Connecticut Skies FB group, so that people can see what the real deal looks like, and what equipment was used to capture it.
Awesome shots on both targets! You're welcome to stop by and field questions on them if you'd like... Look us up. I'm an Admin on the group.
