Composite image with apparent dimensions of Sun, Jupiter and Saturn as seen from Earth

Post by daniele_bonfiglio »

Dear all,
this is a composite image showing the apparent dimensions of Sun, Jupiter and Saturn as seen from Earth.
All celestial bodies have been pictured with the same imaging setup (127mm Mak + 2x Barlow + Fujifilm X-T30).
The Sun image is from the 23th of September (with AR3107), Jupiter is from the 10th of September and Saturn from the 18th of September.
Best,
Daniele

Thank you again, my friends! StarHugger I'm glad you liked my Jupiter, I am still trying to improve my technique... (And I will need to move from a general purpose camera to an astrophotography one!)
Cheers,
Daniele
