Abstract
A revolution is quietly taking place in planetary imaging by amateurs, with a new breed of digital video cameras and computers allowing extremely high resolution images to be obtained of the bright planets (Jupiter, Saturn and Mars). This talk will outline some of the advances in both equipment and techniques that have become popular in the last several years and are resulting in images that show detail down to the resolving limit of the instrument.
