Above left: Mercury approaching 62 Piscium (the bright star) at 0:40 and 1:15 UT on 16 March 1985. Note how rapidly Mercury can move relative to the background stars. A 20cm SCT was used at 166x. Above right: Jupiter as seen with a 25cm Newtonian at 4:00 UT on 26 June 1994. This full-field sketch gives some idea of the apparent size of Jupiter as seen through a telescope at 211x.

Above left: Jupiter with Europa in transit. This observation was made at 4:49 UT on 26 June 1994 using a 25cm Newtonian at 211x. Above right: Mars from 5:05 until 5:15 UT on 6 February 1995. A 25cm Newtonian was used at 160x.

Above left: Saturn at 5:40 UT on 4 October 1996. A 13cm refractor was used at 240x. Above right: Mars from 13:31 until 13:38 UT on 2 February 1997. A 13cm refractor was used at 220x.
