Jupiter, Feb 28, GRS + Oval BA

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Anthony, Your shots are incredibly detailed, especially considering the altitude of Jupiter! I blew my chance this week, tried to image in "poor" conditions yesterday and slept in today missing "average" conditions. Good thing the Jupiter season is still young... Thanks for posting your images!

Jupiter 3/6/06 f10

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Here's my "best" shot in the bad seeing with the 2.5x powermate (best meaning least blurry). Settings are 1/25sec, 40% bright, 33% gamma, 100% sat, 10% gain. Best 300 shots of 900 stacked in Registax. Good thing there's still time before the opposition to find some good seeing. When I tried to subtract out the dust motes, my flat file seemed to subtract out part of the final image. There is no flat subtraction in this shot.

Frist ever image with ToUcam 840

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Bob, excellent shots especially considering day time imaging! I would love to capture Mercury in the day time at its farthest elongation. I suspect the sun's brightness may be overwhelming even at that distance, but it may be worth a try. Keep the shots coming

Jupiter 3/13 GRS Resolved

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Chris, this has to be the largest and sharpest Jupiter I have ever seen! You must be double stacking barlows to get that huge size, f100? Looks like you are taking full advantage of that perfect seeing. The video image of that massive gas giant must take up your entire laptop screen! Your shot is just incredible.

Jupiter 3/17 Not so Boring Side

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Chris, nice shot! You are very lucky to live where the seeing is usually above average. I have had 1 night with 3/5 transparancy/seeing this month. Even under "average" conditions, your detail is tremendous. I set my alarm this morning to see the red spot transit at 3:45AM but the sky was hazy and went back to bed. I did get back up later to catch Venus, but the seeing was 2/5 at best. thanks for posting

Steve

Chris, another awesome shot! Looks like red jr is ready pull in those 2 ovals and gain strength. With all that excellent seeing, do you ever get caught up on sleep? Thanks for posting
