Some Planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn)

Planets are fun to capture, but a real challenge. The key: Magnification, and LOTS of it!

The problem when you try to zoom in on something so small, is our own atmosphere. It jiggles around and dances, lensing the incoming light in a similar fashion. It’s like trying to read the fine print of your insurance policy while your agent holds it, lounging in a pool chair and sipping a pina colada, and you’re 50 feet away…underwater. Lucky imaging is a thing…a very aptly named thing.
