Jupiter and Saturn with Celestron C6 and inexpensive astro cam

 The atmosphere here was rather turbulant so I am happy with what details on Jupiter I could pull out with my Celestron C6 telescope and my Astromania SGCMOS Series Telescope CMOS Camera.

I used PIPP and AS!3 software to gather the best frames and stack them. Then I used Luminar 2018 software for the final touches in post-processing.

As you can see the Great Red Spot (GRS) is barely in the image (5 o'clock position on Jupiter's disc).



If you look closely you can see the shadow of Saturn upon the backside rings (left of the planet) and the two main rings as well.
