Meade LX3 10" F/10 SCT, prime focus and a Canon Rebel T5i on a SkyWatcher EQ6r Pro mount
The moons were captured at ISO 3200 @ 1/4 sec exposures. The Planets were superimposed from a single image on 12/22/2020 at ISO 100 @ 1/4 sec exposure
We had marginal viewing on the 20th and 21st. The air was much calmer on the 22nd, so the planetary images from that night overlay the over exposed background. Jupiter and Saturn were less than 14 degrees above the horizon! The moons appear as they did visually through the scope. This mosaic captures Jupiter's position relative to Saturn. The white lines represent the single frames from each day.
