Jupiter last night

Posted By Mike Wirths
Hey Ed,

Thats a FINE Jupiter! Great colour and detail!
My seeing went pretty bad after about 9:00 pm I did'nt even bother waiting for Jupiter to get to its woefully low altitude..

thanks

Another Gassendi

Hi Edward,

Thats a damn fine Gassendi! How do you like that filter is it helping out, I'm sure it must get you more sharper frames to work with.

thanks

Chris, just a magnificent image!!! Although I can't help but think that given your routine good seeing that you have outgrown your scope and would be able to achieve even better with more aperture!! You already have a superb mount that could handle a large OTA!

thanks for posting!

Wes thats a stunner! Very sharp and detailed!
I really like the tone of the grayscale in your image, I wonder why yours is so different than in my images when they both have the same B&W sony sensor?


cheers

Holy crap Wes if thats soft, it bodes really well for the new Lum colour!! Whats your sense of the quality of the image when you look at the monitor during capture? Are you using the Norpix sofware for capture?
