Mars and Jupiter on January 9, 2023

 Seeing was improved this evening. The high framerate of the DS10C enabled the capture of some quite subtle detail on Jupiter. Mars detail did not improve much, but as the disk is only 13.3 arcseconds in diameter, it is not surprising, given the 5 inch scope aperture.

Tech card: 5 inch Mak. DS10C with 5 x Barlow. Jupiter is a stack of 8K from 16K captures; Mars is a stack of  10K from 32K captures.
