Latest Jupiter

Excellent Ralph! The optics on you C11 sure are sweet - I'd dew them over all the time now smile.

Jupiter shadow transit, 18" Starmaster

Hi Mike,

Nice image. By aligning on the shadow the software follows the shadow and makes the planet blurrier than it should be. Two minutes is 1 minute too many for Europa and Io shadows. The moons move across the FOV faster than the planet rotates. In my SkyMap Pro software, Io's shadow, for example, moves a whole moon's width in just a little over a minute. Depending on the image scale, you could record up to 2~4 minutes of Jupiter by itself - without the moons around.

Jupiter 02/27/04

Posted By Jose Suro

Hi Wes,

Finally cleared up down here but the seeing was so bad I didn't even bother taking the scope out.

I think the image is excellent especially if the seeing conditions were as you mentioned. The moon is just a tad elongated but barely so. The colors though are beautiful with very subtle variations. I also like the way you processed this image. There is no hint of overprocessing noise whatsoever. This makes the image look extremely natural - well done!

Jupiter, Io & GRS from Friday night

A truly outstanding image - congratulations! Best of the year IMHO. You can actually see the darker poles in Io.

comparison of Jupiter/Io images

Hi Alan,

Very nice collage - I like it a lot. Jupiter being as close as it is this month, it might be worth imaging the moons individually at very high magnifications. I'll give it a try weather permitting (a rare commodity these last few weeks ).

Another NGC 2244

Posted By Jose Suro
Nice image August - good detail on the nebula. I also get the blue/magenta background but only in filtered images using a Baader Moon and Skyglow filter. I have and IDAS LPR filter on order so I'll post the results as soon as I can.
