Re: ** Fess up Jeff ** Jupiter: Major Processing Done

Posted By Edward Roach

Jeff, I agree with Wes. The new image you now have posted of Jupiter has been modified from the original you posted.
I compared them last night side by side to Tan Wei Leong's and now your image has changed since Wes posted his message.
Wes posted his message at 10:58pm and your original was modified at 11:07pm.
I believe and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that none of Jupiters moons cast it's shadow on Jupiter any time around when you state you took this image, that could be viewed from your location.
I may be wrong about this an I will apologise if I am, but I believe I am Right.

Hi Tyler,

Very nice image of Saturn. How was the seeing that night, what was the focal ratio? Hope you Ultima is back very soon (I hope nothing major is wrong with it).

Clear skies,

Hi Paul,

That does look like a beast. How did it look through the eyepiece, or did you not look?

Sunspots from January 16....don't laugh... :)

Posted By Edward Roach

Hi Paul,

Your "passable and lousy" images appear very nice to me, but I'm sure it must be the scope. "GRIN".
Your Sunspot images are always as good as I've seen.
Thanks for sharing.

Clear skies,

Ed Roach
