Anthony, surface details are incredible! The bright patch resembles an martian ice cap. You must have had near perfect seeing that night. Thanks for posting it!

Dan, great image! Congradulations of getting surface details. I haven't used my scope in weeks due to poor weather and taking vacation. Thanks for posting

Paul, excellent capture of the GRS and surface details! It looks like my observatory may allow a brief imaging window in between trees an hour past transit, assuming the sky ever clears... Thanks for posting

Dome slitPosted By Stephen Fugardi |
Tom, on my 7' dome, the slit is just wide enough to fit my 20" box fan for observatory cooling. The slit cover has 2 pieces. The large piece I just remove and lean against the dome and the top smaller piece, I just slide up and over the top of the dome and let it rest. This size slit is the minimum to go, and I wish mine was wider, it is difficult to slew automatically with a dew shield without jamming against the opening. I usually adjust manually to get it close before hitting the goto. For some reason bees only nest on these pieces. Good luck

Paul, excellent details! I think your best so far this year. How many seconds of each RGB channel did you collect for this image? Last time, I used 60s each which seems too long. 30-40s may be right? Thanks!

Boris, Excellent shot from so far north! Jupiter can't be much more than 20deg in altitude for you. Nice moon and shadow details. Thanks for posting
