A case of a certain amount of luck combined with 'being on deck' at the right time.
Well done Anthony

Crikey...who said planetary imaging was done & dusted! Bird has found more in a few months than most people in lifetimes.
Fantastic dedication, well done, yet again.

Incredible! Well done Chris and Anthony!
I received this news as well by e-mail from a very excited friend in the Philippine Astronomical Society. It was apparently very huge and very bright when the impact happened. The suspense grows as we eagerly await images of the impact scar.

Great video! It looks like the seeing was pretty reasonable for you.
Did you see it real-time, or when reviewing your videos afterwards?

Unfortunately Trevor missed it... he was in between captures, checking the counterweights on his scope when it happened...

Hi Anthony & All,
Congratulations mate.
Some have commented on how "lucky" you seem to be and sure, luck does play a role here -- ie happening to be in the right place at the right time.
But, if you are in the right-place a lot (like you are) then your chances of being there at the right-time are greatly increased. Patience, persistence, hard work (and a bit of luck too) pays off.
Very, very well done and a well deserved reward for your hard work!
Best,
Les D

re jupiter hit
Thats amazing!,how can one put words to such an event,and even harder to puts words to the fact that Anthony got it on video.I have only seen the still taken from video,and look forward to finding the link with full video.
Like that documentary a few weeks ago said,'Jupiter is the vacum cleaner of our solar system".thank you Jupiter,although when you see events like this happening on Jupiter,I have seen three like this now in my life time,how long can earth go before its number is up in "solar system roulette".
Well done Anthony!,like I said before,you do deserve a OAM!
