Another Jupiter from the Beach

Posted By Jim Phillips
Hello All,
I woke up at 2:30 AM and got everything ready. CSC predicted excellent seeing. I first observed with the binoviewer plus 2.1X Barcon and 12mm Monocentrics. The view was absolutley
amazing. Seeing was indeed very good. The image was very sharp. Io was to one side with its inky black shadow beautifully projected upon the disk. Detail was superb. Of course I then got

the Skynyx camera out and started imaging. here is an early image FYI. By the tme

I finished the mosquitoes were so thick I could hardly see the laptop screen!!

NP 127

Posted By Jim Phillips
Here's a question. Suppose you just spend the vas majority of your discretionary cash on a Televue NP 127. You want to use the scope for visual Deep Sly oberving and will carry the stuff in a cart most but not all the way. Portability is an issue. You want an Alt/Az mount with Sky Commander or NGC Max. Which mount would you purchse and why?

Unfortunately the seeing was only fair. Here is one of my images taken with my TEC 2090mm F/8 Flourite @ F/40 and a Skynyx 2.0 color camera FYI.
