Schiller--exercise in image scale

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Mike,

Great! images, I never go below a 4x barlow and most of the time I use a 5x barlow, with our 18" scopes though a focal length of 11500mm is just starting to get the motor reved up smile

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Alan,

Superb image, even with this wide angle image I can still see a good part of the rille in the valley.

Thanks,

Jupiter Apr. 28th

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Luca,

If I remember correctly you have just started doing planetary imaging and I have got to say you are doing much! better than when I first started about five years ago.
This is a good image (UTC 20:59 image), the edge definition around the perimeter of the planet is excellent and Io (I have not checked so I assume it's Io) shows up as a nice disk, as I am sure you already know seeing is at least 90% of getting a good image.
With out a detailed list of your processing steps I don't have any good tips for you (I don't use Iris so I might not be able to help there) but I can say you are doing great and keep after it smile

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Blue Festoon

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Jim,

Beautiful! image, I like those blue festoons.
The best visual view I have ever had of Jupiter was with an 18" Obsession I had about five years ago and I don't think I will ever forget the beautiful blue festoons that were showing that night.

Thanks,

My little jupiter

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi Brian,

Very nice Jupiter image, you caught the Robins egg blue festoon very well. Wow a Mewlon 250 that will be an awesome planetary scope I look forward to seeing some images from it.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
