Joe,

Your 3 images of Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are very nice. It looks like the 120MC does a pretty good job with planets. May I ask how long each image was and what the arc seconds per pixel was with your setup? Very well done, especially the transit of Io, there looks like another Moon to the lower left of Jupiter in that image.

Cheers, Mike Olason

Mike, thank you for your comments. The pictures were actually avi files that were stacked, frame by frame through Registax 6.0. The following is the settings I used for my telescope for Mars. Jupiter and Saturn were identical save for the exposure times (I will post the exposure times later when I find the files...)
