Jupiter 11/10/03

Hi! I am finally "satisfied" with a Jupiter image taken with a refurbished C-14. Since I really haven't imaged from any area other than around my house in Maryland (just north of Washington, DC), I assumed that turbulent seeing was THE norm. This morning was completely different! There was no Planet jumping all over the screen; there were no wavy cloud bands. What a difference the seeing makes! Another lesson learned.
Details: C-14 (1976); F/22; ToUcam; K3CCDTOOLS; Registax 1000 frames out of 1800.

Ed,

Congratulations on obtaining an excellent image of Jupiter showing a good amount of detail. The major belts (NEB and SEB) are well recorded. The blue festoons along the southern border of the NEB are interesting. I look forward to more of your images in the future.
