The OLLR Observatory, here at Castle Yeti has finally started to
return some results. Once the weather changed from that dreadful
sou'wester that seems to have been blowing since Chrimbugmas I
have been getting back into ye olde telescopy once more.
Here are a few recent images:
Venus:

Thankfully the concrete base of the observatory has failed to
sink into the swamp...

The first 3 images were captured using the 10" SNT, the Jupiter
was done with the 90mm Refractor. The SNT, being f/4, is too
fast for planetary work really, so I tried the f/10 90mm this
evening and got a really nice Jupiter.
I use a modified webcam to take avi files and then process with
registax to get a still frame...

Hope to be there, but am unsure of my rotation at the moment due
to the shipyard jobbie.....
A couple of pics taken this morning;
Mars, with some focusing issues:

chicken bones thrown at it laterer....
