Whilst Jupiter and Saturn have been frustratingly low in the southern sky from the UK this summer, Mars rules the night, rising high in the sky during late evening as it heads towards opposition in October. I used my Skywatcher Skymax 127mm Maksutov telescope to image the three planets on one night. Saturn was a struggle with its low surface brightness, but Jupiter and Mars offered exciting surface details. I used the Firecapture software for the first time to capture the video from my ZWO ASI120mc camera.
