Jupiter with TAL200K ASI224MC and ADC
Jupiter reached opposition last week in the night of July 13 and 14. Due to last weeksfocus on Comet Neowise C/2020 F3 it took me untill yesterday to take some pictures of Jupiter. Some clouds in the north but the southern sky was cloudfree with a good seeing. The GRS (Great Red Spot) showed up central around UT0h but I started to take some pictures 1h before.

Saturn 2 days after opposition
On July 21, 2020 Saturn has reached opposition, meaning earth is exactly between the Sun and Saturn. Perfect conditions to observe Saturn.
Yesterday I took time to make pictures of Saturn. I used my ASI224MC camera on TAL200K f8.5. Setting: use of ADC and Barlow x2. Capture software SharpCap 3.2 was use to captures images. Stacking with AutoStakkert! and final editing using CS4.
The result is really amazing with a clear view on A, B and C rings aswell as the Cassini Division and Encke Divsion.

Comet Neowise C/2020 F3 with TLAPO80/480 and blue filter
The comet was photographed using my Nikon D7500 and TLAPO80/480 f/6 toghether with a blue filter. DigiCamControl software was used to control my Nikon Camera in order to take exposures beyond 30s.
Setting : ISO640 and 9x60s exposure time. Raw data converted to DNG and stacking using DeepSkyStacker. Editing using CS4.
The ion tail is seen left from the white dust tail. The ion tail and the dust tail are "split" somewhat further away from the comet as seen on the picture.
