Hi Carlos,

Excellent sketch. I see you recorded Encke going all the around the A ring.

BTW, most if the time I find that an MV filter works well for the rings. It brings out ringlets in the B ring.

Thanks, Sol Robbins

Hi Carlos,

The bright zone you rendered is really interesting. Same goes for the details in the NEB.

Have a peaceful, healthy holiday season for you, your family and friends.

Jupiter Sketch Jan. 8, 2004

Posted By Sol Robbins
Hi,

Thanks.

I prefer to use the word relax rather than concentrate. wink

I certainly was dressed for the occasion looking like a cross between "The Thing" and Admiral Byrd. Still, the sharp, high powered images of Jupiter made me forget about all that for about 40 minutes.

Best, Sol Robbins

Hi Carlos,

Fine sketch & observing report. I think the long light toned separating rift in the SEB must have developed somewhat recently. I don't remember seeing this previously at least to such an extent as it is currently. Your rendition of this feature is quite striking, and difficult to portray while at the eyepiece.

Thanks, Sol Robbins

...and maybe a couple of Sunspot images

Hi Paul,

Thanks for giving us a heads up on your imaging. I always amazed at how the Baader filter shows detail.

Jupiter and Saturn Images

Posted By Sol Robbins
Hi Paul,

These are really good images. The seeing this morning wasn't up to par for me, so viewing your images made my morning.

Really interesting features on Jupiter's SEB rift, the dark spot following the GRS, SPR ovals and NEBs. Saturn shows great detail as well with its ring's upper right quadrant appearing ruddy in hue. Additionally, it looks like there's a very tiny dark spot just to the left of center in the south pole, unless its an artifact.

Thanks again, Sol Robbins

Hi Carlos,

Both drawings give a great sense of what is visible on Jupiter lately with decent seeing and higher magnifications.

Thanks, Sol Robbins
