JUPITER November 9, 2026
FINALLY GOOD WEATHER! Seeing was good! The planet was 55-60 degrees up and this is only 20 minutes of data. Loving the red spot on the Southern pole. Jupiter looks very fun this year.

MARS and Elysium Mons region.
November 8, 2026
This planet is a tough one to get unless seeing is good. It's getting larger though so thats good. Mars has a nice phase going and the polar ice cap up North is really good.

Conditions were above average as the planet drifts further from the Earth. The shadow on the ring is now on the left, Titan was visible in the shot. Ring Shadow flipped top side. Subtle process

My first real chance to image Jupiter and Mars will be Tuesday Morning. After 3 weeks+ of terrible SoCal weather! It will feel good to be back. Skies are expected to be above average seeing. Let's get it!

The weather has been terrible. When it’s raining, you can’t image anything and when it’s windy, you still can’t image anything.

JUPTITER, Great Red Spot, Wake, and First Image of 2026 - October 8, 2026 LOW ALTITUDE
I believe we will lose the Northern Belt in short time. The Northern Belt is getting thinner by the year and more turbulent.

My Official 2026 Saturn Opposition photo.
Taken with a near meter wide telescope under majestic seeing conditions. Brighter rings partially due to ice and rock shadows disappearing during opposition! Seen in even the moon and other planets
Happy Saturn Opposition Day everyone!

NEPTUNE OPPOSITION 2026
Every year, I do an opposition photo shoot of Neptune. This time, for the first time ever using the massive 30" DOB Telescope. This year, it appears Neptune has clouds and is quite active.
