So the Moon is out, and while this can be a pain when we long for photographing our favourite galaxies and nebulae, I am often guilty of neglecting the planets and the Moon. I have a fairly budget setup; however, I get some satisfying results from my 127mm Skywatcher. So when the Moon's out, I now think it's time to image the planets. As I write this on 16 November 2024, all the planets are well positioned at a reasonable time. Saturn is now low on the southern horizon, so I will have to wait again until next year.  But Jupiter is rising in the east, and I can get a good view of it from my back garden.
