Hi Mike,

Very nice image for such poor seeing conditions, how do you like the Baader 680nm as compared to your other IR passband filter, I finally got to try my Baader 680nm out last night and I think it helped some but I need more experience with it to say for sure.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Oliver,

Great image, sometimes it pays to hang in there and wait for those few seconds of good seeing.

Dodi,

Excellent! image, wow 8000 frames, just 5% good frames would give a fair amount to stack.

Thanks,

Hi Oliver,

Great! images, thanks for posting.
If I have very good seeing I will not do any noise reduction, if
the seeing is not so good then I may do a slight bit of noise
reduction.

Clear And Steady Skies,

Jupiter this Morning

Posted By Wesley Higgins

Hi Jim,

Beautiful!!, I have seen a few this year with a little more detail but none IMO with better color and processing, top notch!.
Just as Mike Wriths said I have yet to image Jupiter this year too, maybe in a few weeks.

Thanks,

copernicus...yet again!!!!

Hi Mike,

Excellent image, I think I could tell this came from a large aperture scope with out even knowing, despite the 4-6/10 seeing the resolution a large scope offers for the moon makes small features stand out.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
