Description

Christmas Star fail!!! Got cloudy and was way low in the trees in minutes... what I did get was horrible but I did manage a few moments in between thinned out clouds... thin enough for it to come through in my telescope. With some processing magic.... here it is... no editing in the distance between Jupiter and Saturn but some editing in getting the features such as Jupiter and its moons. Remember that Jupiter is way too bright when seeing both at the same time ... I had to superimpose Jupiter on its own from another shot on to the good Saturn frame. These were just 100 frames shots on QHY5iii178... that was about all I could get with heavy thick passing clouds...
