Jupiter impact confirmed by JPL - Page 15

I'm just working through a few AVIs at the moment, Allan.

They are not a very pretty sight...but I have captured the impact feature.

So...that's something I guess.

OK. Here it is.

Just a simple mono image taken through red filter.

The scar is still very visible in the south polar region.

At least I snagged one!

Anyone got a methane or K band IR filter??. It'd be interesting to see an amateur taking piccies with those and comparing the results with similar ones taken by NASA/Keck.

Yep it certainly wasn't pretty out there tonight.

Thanks Paul....will have a squizz.

Nice images Matt and Paul – I see you went for the big Barlows and/or PowerMates! I stayed at a small scale hoping to outwit the seeing but it didn’t quite pay off!

Well, I’m out of here; wisps of cloud and poor seeing have me beaten tonight. Here is the best AVI from 1 hour ago. Europa and shadow on the left, Ganymede on the right and the Bird Strike prominent at the lower limb.

Cheers

Dennis

PS – this is the smallest jpg (7.9k) I have ever posted!

Very Nice shot Dennis, that mewlon certainly pays dividends.

Yep the powermate didn't pay off tonight Dennis

Equally rubbish here...
Funny that!

Hi Matt

Yeah – my tongue-in-cheek comment was more of a desperate prayer, or wishful thinking that at least one of us would be able to outwit the seeing!

Hi Paul

Yes, my experience from Monday night showed me that the x3 Barlow or the x2.5 PowerMate just doesn’t work under these conditions. Incidentally, the seeing was much worse during this session than on Monday.

Cheers

Dennis

Congrats on the 7pm project interview

Deeno · #**293** 23-07-2009, 09:14 AM

Congratulations. Awsome stuff.
Very well deserved Anthony.

(Going to bring some autographed pics to IIS star party?)

Over in a Cloudy Nights thread:-

"When I grow up, I want to be like Anthony"

erick (Eric) · #**295** 23-07-2009, 09:24 AM

Amazing - world wide story.

In Portuguese:-

"Anthony Wesley, um programador informático australiano de 44 anos, costuma passar 20 horas por semana a olhar para Júpiter, através do telescópio colocado no seu quintal em Murrumbatema, nos arredores de Camberra. Mas na madrugada de domingo para segunda-feira a sua paixão pela astronomia dividia atenções com um torneio de golfe e outro de críquete que estava a dar na televisão. E por pouco não deixava passar a descoberta da sua vida. "

No I cannot read most of it but "Anthony Wesley", "Murrumbatema" "Camberra" sort of gives it away!

Hows this....Anthony, you have 4,670,000 separate entries on Google!!!

Some aren't related to you....but what the heck, claim them all!!

Resistance is futile...

Just had a thought, Anthony. With all this coverage you're getting, what you should do is try to keep contacts and network a bit, since you're a programmer, and try get some extra work on the side!!!. More money = more you beaut goodies for the scope!!!
