a little jupiter

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Alan, excellent image especially considering the altitude. The DMK mono camera has a big advantage to record detail over the color toucam under these conditions for sure. I see you created the L channel from R&G, was that to maximize the number of available frames for R,G,B? Thanks for posting

Vesta Resolved

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Chris, awesome resolution of this asteroid! The diffraction rings around the Vesta images indicate absolutely perfect collimation with ideal seeing. Congradulations on this excellent work. Thanks for posting!

Jupiter, June 22 from Murrumbateman

Anthony, Absolutely incredible detail on that huge image! Jupiter seems 3D. Congradulations on your new home, the seeing must be very good there as well. Thanks for posting

Jupiter July 12, 2007

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Paul, In more comfortable 70degF temps, I took this image of Jupiter tonight at 10:30pm and it had the identical view as yours from 6 days ago. At first I thought we imaged at the same time. I'd still take your "dry" 100F heat any day, if the seeing is excellent. Thanks for posting

Jupiter f25 7/16

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Cutting the frames from 200 to the best 150 slightly improves the image.

Jupiter from Murrumbateman, July 25

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Anthony, absolutely breathtaking! That is the biggest and best Jupiter image I have ever seen. You definitely should publish that in a magazine. Thanks for posting it!

Jupiter f25 7/25 W/GRS & Io

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Taken 60min past Jupiter's transit which had slightly better image quality. Unfortuneately, my trees block the ideal peak viewing.

Copernicus secondaries & Eratosthenes

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Stefan, excellent shot. I noticed that you used a green filter to capture this image. Why did you pick green? I usually only use the IR blocking filter but have the colored ones ready to try. Thanks for posting

Steve
