Thanks!, In Japan, seeing gets worse as we enter autumn in September, but I would like to do my best for a while to adjust to Saturn's opposition.

Thanks!, BGM uses Japanese free music.

¡gracias!

Thanks!, The "deconvolution MEM" I use is Stella Image 9 (Japanese astronomical image processing software), which uses the MEM = maximum entropy method. ("deconvolution" in Pixinsight) I have never used it, so I don't know how effective it is for planets.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, Ganymede is large, so it is still easy to photograph.

土星の衛星は暗くてとらえるのが難しく、それを表現するのもまた難しいです。いつもありがとうございます。 Les lunes de Saturne sont sombres et difficiles à voir, mais également difficiles à représenter. Merci comme toujours.

Thanks!, My C14 is second hand, but it takes good pictures.

Thanks!, In summer in Japan, there are many days with good seeing due to the Pacific anticyclone. However, on this day the seeing was reasonably good but not the best. Details appear thanks to image processing software.

Thanks!

Thanks!

少し環が開いてきてカッシーニの隙間も写るようになりました。土星の衛星は小さいのが多いので写しにくいですね。いつもありがとうございます。 Le ring s'est un peu ouvert et l'écart de Cassini est désormais visible. La plupart des lunes de Saturne sont petites et difficiles à photographier. Merci comme toujours.

Thanks!, I used to do deep sky photography and comet photography, but now I am concentrating on planetary photography.

"@SuperRbstar" It's a pity that you don't do such astrophotography anymore. But I would like to see at least the Andromeda galaxy m31 through your telescope. I think it would be magnificent through your telescope!)

@@AstRoTrapIKZ4 Thank you for your expectations. Unfortunately, the night sky where I live is so bright that I can barely see second-magnitude stars.

Thanks!, In Japan, the approach distance between Mars and Jupiter remains unchanged at 1/3 degree. At its closest approach, I can't see it with my balcony telescope because of the shadows of the buildings.

Thanks!, The black dot above is Rhea's shadow, and the one closer to the ring is Tethys' shadow.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, I believe that we will have to wait to seeing the sky, but by ventilating the telescope's tube current with an electric fan, we were able to demonstrate the capabilities of C14.

Thanks, My C14 is installed at the edge of the balcony, and on sunny days in the summer, the temperature can reach around 50 degrees Celsius due to the sunlight. The surrounding concrete is warm until midnight, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner blows hot air. Efforts are being made to ventilate the air inside the telescope with electric fans and to expel air from the balcony with large fans.

@@SuperRbstar Still a little wonder that it works so well! 🙂

@@stadtchronistjennersdorf6351 I have no choice but to wait for the airflow in the sky to improve, but I believe that I can do something about the airflow in and around the telescope.

Thanks!

Thanks!

merci.

Thanks!, Delta T shows the difference between the outside temperature and the primary mirror temperature. At the start of the test, the primary mirror temperature was 18.5℃ and the outside temperature was 11.5℃.

@@SuperRbstar Ahh, sorry I was reading Delta T as time...completely my rushed wrong thinking. I have a background in Schlieren so understand what's going on, but have just been gifted an old C8 classic and was interested in the time needed to reduce the Delta T (though obviously the answer is "it depends"). Given the thermals in front (where your hand is) will not be in focus when observing / capturing, am I correct that the most detrimental thermals would be those sitting closer to the primary mirror / eyepiece (in an SCT), and those at infinity (atmosphere etc)?

@@PhilTaylorPhotog I attach an electric fan to the telescope tube and rear cell to ventilate the airflow inside the tube and cool the primary mirror. I think all we can do is wait for the airflow above the lens barrel to improve. I use Windy to look at airflow at different altitudes and make predictions.

@@SuperRbstar Thanks for your info..I’m just starting out, but loving it so far.

@@PhilTaylorPhotog It is a telescope that can see well if you overcome various obstacles and use it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, Also see the new Saturn and Mars.

Thanks!

Thanks!, I was also unable to capture such details when visually observing with an astronomical telescope. Thanks to today's high-sensitivity digital video cameras and image processing software, it is now possible to capture ultra-detailed images of the Martian surface. I think it's thanks to the many great predecessors that I can enjoy looking at Mars.

@@SuperRbstar Yes, absolutely, the innovations of the computer and digital imaging are the game changers. Incredible results. My comment was meant as a testament to our technological advancements. It's inspiring when you consider that Lowell's state of the art technology in 1894 is weak compared to the tools that any hobbyist can now use to explore the cosmos. How fun would it be to be able to travel back in time for a day, and bring these tools to Lowell. Imagine the sense of awe he would experience.

@@thisisreallife5086 Thanks!, I'm enjoying the planet created by advanced image processing in digital video.

Thanks!, For a long time in Japan, Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes were categorized as telescopes that could not see well, but it has become clear that if the airflow inside the cylinder and the optical axis are properly adjusted, planets can be clearly imaged.

Thanks!, I can observe the icy polar caps and clouds of Mars.

Beautiful.....😎👍

@@pascalduquenne5947 Thanks!

Thanks!, The reason why the planet shakes and sometimes becomes blurry is because of the atmosphere.

Mon C14 est un modèle de 1988 que j'ai acheté d'occasion, et le revêtement se décolle et il n'est pas en bon état, mais lorsque je l'ajuste et prends une photo, je peux capturer la résolution de l'ouverture. merci.

Thanks!

Thanks!

日本の夏はシーイングが良いことがあるので楽しみにしています。ただ、秋以降の木星や火星は赤緯が高くなりすぎて、私のバルコニーからではなかなか視界に入ってこないのが残念です。それでもがんばります。ありがとうございます。 J'attends avec impatience l'été au Japon car les choses peuvent être belles. Malheureusement, la déclinaison de Jupiter et de Mars sera trop élevée après l'automne, je ne pourrai donc pas les voir facilement depuis mon balcon. Pourtant, je ferai de mon mieux. merci.

Thanks!, There is no digital zoom, but you can view it on the PC capture screen. The details won't come out without the help of image processing software. Even if I looked through a telescope visually, I would not be able to see this much detail.

@@SuperRbstar I've been thinking about buying a telescope. But if the image quality from even the most expensive don't come close to processed images then maybe astronomy isn't for me.

@@pmcate2 The resolution of a telescope is determined by its aperture. I think it's best to enjoy the best of the telescope you use.

Thanks!, Although the conditions for photographing planets from a balcony are sometimes difficult, there are many benefits of easy access. I enjoy planetary photography as my life's work.

@@SuperRbstar did you took a look of the Paris balcony with the mewlon 300 ?

@@MrTassadit My telescope is a Celestron C14, and I was able to watch the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024 on TV. It was raining, wasn't it?

Thanks!

Thanks!, I use a 2-inch 2x multi-barrow lens that extends the projection distance to 3.5x magnification.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!, Japan, where I live, is located in the northern hemisphere, and when viewed through an astronomical telescope, the north and south (up and down) appear upside down, with the south facing up. The south side of the image is at the top because I took the photo according to how I actually see it.
