Jupiter 03/10/04... @... f/20 & f/30

Posted By Gary Carter

Nice detail. Great comparison of different magnifications. I can't tell you sacrificed any detail at f/30 - seeing must have been very good indeed!

Re: good webcam planet under poor seeing condition

Posted By Gary Carter

I shot Mars a few times in reletively poor conditions. I remember wind gusts were a factor. Keep in mind at the focal ratios you are dealing with the wind is going to have a very pronounced effect.

You might consider what resources you have available to protect the OTA/mount from the wind as much as you can.

Thanks for sharing! It was clouded over in Dallas so no chance to see it otherwise!

Fantastic job Alan. I saw this post briefly yesterday but Yahoo wouldn't let me in ;-(

Glad you found a way to put it up! Thanks!

St Patty's Jupiter

I'd say it is apparent in Rolando's pic too - but not so pronounced as in yours. This is probably more prominent in your image due to the processing technique used.
