One night in June '18 was our “planets night”. These videos shows the imaging capability of a well-tuned 1m telescope with nice nightime seeing , without AO (it came after 2020), and some data processing (actually a lot of data processing …). Some of the videos have a long enough timelime so as to make planetary rotation visible.

Shooting Jupiter and Io together wasn't that simple: I am happy it ends up nicely !

            Jupiter                  Saturn                          Mars                              Venus 

If you are looking for Mercury, it is somewhere else on this site, as it is one of our favourite daytime target.
