Capture from 8:30pm last night in Melbourne (still daylight.)

Great image with nice sharp planetary detail. Now I know what I'm missing out on.

Nice capture Con - what settings / equipment did you use? Thanks.

[Ittaku]

Thanks. CPC Deluxe 1100 HD, Astronomik RGB filters, ZWO ADC, ZWO ASI 183MM Pro. Captured in firecapture, stacked in autostakkert, and processed in The GIMP. Due to a stuff up on my part, I lost all the night image data I grabbed so this was the last daylight image taken before Jupiter was even visible with the naked eye in the bright sky; it's just the processing has gotten rid of the blue sky entirely.

[Placidus]

That's magnificent.

[Ittaku]

Thanks very much :)

[Ittaku]

This is horrific.

I'm driving to the Northwest of the state tomorrow. What insane cloud cover.
