Hi everyone,

gave Jupiter the flick tonight after 2 months of dissapointed slaps in the face.

Captured 47 Tucana with 3x 1 minute exposures with 20Da at iso 800. 14" SCT with f6.3 focal reducer.

Hi Asi,

No spare 20Da last time I looked.

Here is a slightly less cropped image (thanks to Astroman's advice)

Great shot Lester, lovely depth. The first one would be great, except it's highlighting what looks to be a small focus error.

Great colours and detail.

i like your tucanae good job on that, i prefer your croped version, looks sharper.

i recently had a go at this one,allthough i havent gone through processing the images, processing images is much more time consuming then taking them eh?

Hi Adrian and John,

thanks for your replies. After imaging just Jupiter for 3 months I am looking forward to some variety of objects.
