4 targets last night (18 Apr 2015)

[Chanlunlun]

I managed to complete these 4 shots last night. It started at 1900 till 0200 next morning - a very exhaustive job indeed.

It was difficult since clouds came and gone. I had to wait and wait until cloud gaps appeared. But the stability was indeed good - that worth the effort.

All pictures were by C-11 at f/25, robotically controlled. North is up and East is at left.

Jupiter - I waited until the great red spot went to the center and took this shot. Good stability.

Saturn - It was a difficult target because it came very late at night and also due to its very low surface brigtness.

Crater Posidonius - I only had a few minutes looking onto the lunar surface before clouds came. And this is the only ONE picture that I could take. No second chance.

Mars - Mars appeared at a very good time. Crossing the meridian at midnight it enjoyed very good stability. Note that in this particular picture "canals" are seen on the desert area between the North and South poles, and also in the Solis Lacus region.
