Making Sense of Jupiter’s Problems

See the first image in this post? You should notice two issues with it.

I took this picture with my iPhone quickly as I was packing up my telescope on Jupiter’s opposition night.

I intentionally rerouted my evening walk so I could get a better perspective on both the Moon and Venus.

On a side note, I missed the Perseid meteors this year as the sky was bad most of last week.

On the same day I took my recent Saturn and Jupiter images, approximately 18 hours afterward, I went for an evening stroll.

Why did I wait to 1am to photograph Saturn a few days ago? Because it had to clear the trees blocking my South sky view.

Though it was difficult at times to locate Saturn, I think the results were good.
