Just realised something.

On the date of the 40th year anniversary Moon Landings, it took a few Aussies to help assist in obtaining/relaying pictures of the actual Moon Landing.

And what a day to mark, with another landing of another type.
Again, assisted by the means of an Australian.

What would NASA do with out us Aussies
Go you good thing.!

It's clearing up in Melbourne, so might get a show after all, but midnight approaches very quickly :/

Noticed this has made the Discover Magazine blogs
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/ba...ot-on-jupiter/
EDIT: Mike's been there already

I'll throw the crazy ideas out there Could one of the moons collided?
I'll expect a witty answer

Congrats Bird, all you efforts over the year are paying off. I am not sure if it was mentioned but i read on the one of the linked blogs, someone mentioned this is the same week that Shoemarker Levy impacted on Jupiter July 16the-22nd 1994.

I'm late coming to the party being back at work and not having too much time to look up or play on the net! But let me pass on my congratulations Bird, really sensational work!

Well done, and whatever it finally gets listed as, ie impact or otherwise, a truly great image and something for us all to aspire to on those long cold winter nights.

Great news regarding the confirmation with the NASA IR Telescope.

Imaged it tonight at 12:05, 12:10, 12:15 and 12:20 UTC. Being so low the seeing was not to good but I could still see the impact site on the raw feed from the DMK.

Due to the seeing at such a low altitude I have captured only the red channel for 2 minutes each capture for about 3,500 frames. Hope to be able to stack about 1,000 frames for each image.

Regards
Trevor

Taken @ 11.16PM.

Not as big as some, but I'm happy.

Seeing won't allow a larger magnification

Cheers

I recorded some data tonight, but a howling jetstream and low altitude means it's low-res only.

cheers, Bird

Nice to have so much good news for a change.

Congratulations Bird!

Congratulations Bird on capturing this image of the Jupiter impact.

We were observing Jupiter Saturday night at a large public star party east of Portland Oregon. I wonder when it will be confirmed that this event occurred as I thought we were seeing the same Jupiter face and I wondered if there was a shadow transit in the South polar region with the GRS just coming around the edge.

Hello,

After a patient but exciting wait, Jupiter cleared the tree tops and appeared on the Notebook screen, albeit a bit wobbly! Here is the best I could do given the tricky conditions. The weather map shows that we were on the edge of the jet stream, which probably accounted for the wildly varying seeing.

Mewlon 180, Vixen x2 Barlow, DBK21AF04 ccd camera. Recorded at 22:09 pm AEST

Cheers

Dennis

Hi Anthony, can relate to the problems with the altitude and jetstream.

This is the first image I have processed from tonight July 20th, only the red channel, 1032 frames of 3600. This is the first time out for my new TV 3x Barlow working at 5x. Love the image scale, at least it fits on the DMK chip now.

Although a low res image, your impact site is clearly visible, the second dark spot below it and further to the east is a dust bunny on my CCD.

South is up and West is to the right. This image was a 2 minute capture starting at 12:10 UTC.

Regards
Trevor

Well done Anthony. I can imagine the elation you must be feeling, that's a truly great find for all years of dedication to Planetary imaging.
