On exceptional nights, you can get the polar hexagon with IR filters and RGB data. This is probably my favorite of Saturn.

Thanks Jim. Which ZWO camera and what was your effective focal ratio? Jeff

For what it’s worth, Dale, my wife and I had good luck with diluted peppermint oil spray against wasps that nest behind house shingles. We used the treatment described here, and it worked

Thank you all, for the kind words. Had I known you guys enjoyed planetary images, I would have posted them sooner :) Yes all these are with the ASI290mm. I used a PIerro Astro ADC to counter some of

Excellent detail, Rouz! Really fantastic images. Luca

Wicked awesome like you read about.

2.9um pixels so I'm thinking either a IMX290 or IMX462 chip. I'll bet it's the latter for its NIR sensitivity when used with a CH4 filter. Amazing images for sure and at not even half-way up in the

Rouz's planetary images are always wicked good. 🙂

These are amazing. How different Jupiter looked one year ago. jg
