Thanks Peter, it might be a UFO, those Jovian's like taking their tourists for a senic buzz around the planet every now and then.

That's right Jon, even up your way has been pretty ordinary. If it rained from the cloud cover at least there would be some benefit but just blocking our view, well that's just not on!!

Nice to see you picked that up, it was just lucky timing, I only noticed it when focusing the image.

Excuse this ignorant comment from someone who has never tried planetary imaging - but I thought you'd need a longer focal length or smaller pixels for something like this.
Sydney has been great the past few nights !!!

Thanks Chris. Now we don't want to start any Melbourne/Sydney rivalry here but I wish I was in Sydney to take advantage of the good conditions, we'll get our turn! You're right about the focal length, no prime focus stuff to produce this enlargement. It included a 2.5X Power mate and 12.5mm eyepiece.
