Hevel, these are great shots and presented in a way to maximise the scientific value. I'm amazed (truly) and what you can achieve with a 114mm scope and with Jupiter at such a low altitude. Incredible! :eyepop: :thumbsup:

cheers,

Yes, nice work there Guillaume given jupiters altitude!!

We really are spoilt "down under" having Jupiter at around 70 deg (75 for me) at this time. I'm surprised you can get anything recognisable at 25 deg with a 114mm scope. :thumbsup:

Maximum points there Hevel.

Woould most definitely not look forward to trying to image with Jupiter so low in the sky.

Tres bien:thumbsup:

Hi guys, ;)
Thanks for all your comments :rolleyes:
It's true that the condition to shoot Jupiter in France are not good !!!
the low altitude of Jupiter really do not help...seeing are truly poor at this low altitude :(
But the 114mm is less sensible to the seeing than a biggest telescope....

Clear Skies,
