Sol,

A highly detailed observation of Jupiter. As you point out much detail is noted between the NEB and SEB, including the GRS. Please keep up the excellent work.

Jorge,

Very nice sketches of Jupiter and the Sun. You have noted detail within the Great Red Spot (GRS). Please keep up the excellent work.

Sol,

An excellent observation of Jupiter even with a stopped down instrument. You have noted much detail over the NEB, SEB, and even some loop festoons in the EZ. Please keep up the excellent work. May you have many more Tee shirt observations.

Mars 5/2/2003

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Angel and Graeme,

Thank you for posting your excellent image and observation of Mars.

Angel's image shows Mare Sirenum to the south (top) beneath a brilliant South Polar Hood (SPH) as well as a very bright orographic (mountain-associated) cloud projecting beyond the evening (preceding) limb over the Tharsis region. I look forward to more of your images in the future.

Graeme's Mars observation shows some details as well. The brilliant SPH does appear as a button over the south limb of the planet. Please continue to make your observations in the future.

The best of luck to everyone on their own Mars observations.

Jupiter as of 05-05-03

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Ivan,

Thank you for posting your excellent first light image of Jupiter using your new webcam. You have captured much detail across the jovian disk. I note ovals over the South Temperate Belt (STB) and Zone (STZ), South Tropical Zone (STrZ) condensation (dark blotch), SEB and NEB detail, a dark barge along the northern border of the NEB and detail within the North Polar Region (NPR). Please keep up the excellent work and try to not lose too much blood to the Florida state bird (The Mosquito!). I too live and observe in South Florida.

The best of luck in future imaging.

Angel,

Thank you for posting your outstanding images of Mars. I too made an observation of Mars one hour forty minutes prior to your images. It is posted now on the forum.

The best of luck and happy imaging.

Mars this morning (may 10)

Bruce,

An excellent image of Mars showing much detail. Please be patient as Mars is not easy target for both visual observations and imaging. We all look forward to your future images.

Angel,

Another great image of Mars. Most of the features visible can be described by the comments on my May 8, 2003 observation on the forum. Please keep up the outstanding work.

Michael,

Sharing the heavens with children is the greatest legacy that any astronomer can perform. It brings back the excitement that we felt when we started observing the heavens above. It also preserves the love of astronomy and the universe in general for generations. I hope that you and your daughter enjoy many full cups of cocoa.

Sol,

A great observation of Jupiter showing much detail. This may be your last one for the current apparition. It has been a memorable one.
