The Clear Sky Session

July and August 2021 were two month with nights full of clouds.
Jupiter close to opposition and a 1st time test on my APO with ocularprojection at only 600mm with a 6mm ocular.
Jupiter
Saturn
Apparent Dimension of Jupiter
Jupiter (August 8th 2020) with a distance of about 603.193.000 km to earth with an apparent size of about 48,9 arc seconds.
Lessons learned
I had major concerns about getting the planet into telescope with an 6mm lens.
I started without the ocular projection and made use of platesolving as i always do. 1st on a star cluster close to Polaris and 2nd on the object itself.
After that i changed to ocular projection and centered manually on Jupiter and Saturn in EKOS.
