I continue to capture planets through 203mm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Now it is possible for me to shoot Jupiter and Saturn after midnight – by this time the earth has time to cool down, the image quality is much better than in the evening capturing.

For a month and a half, Mars has grown noticeably to 14.47 arc seconds and turned an interesting sideways. The atmosphere condition during the capturing was very stable, which made it possible to capture many small details on the surface of Mars. Interestingly, Olympus darkened again, although earlier I was able to record the cloud accumulation above the peak. I look forward to the opposition of Mars, but even with such a small angular size, the planet is of great interest both for astrophotographers and for fans of visual observations.

On the night of July 31, 2020, the atmosphere was stable – perhaps the best of the entire capturing season. Also at the time of capturing the Great Red Spot was available for observation. The view of the planet on the screen was impressive – many small details on the planet’s disk. At the end of the capturing, I installed a CH4 methane filter and a monochrome camera in the telescope – the Great Red Spot became bright.
