Jupiter 25th Aug (now with featureless natural light Venus)

[rustigsmed]

hi all,

finally have produced a good jupiter :D not sure why i had managed to get nice Saturns pretty well a lot of the time but not jupiter, perhaps it needed the extra fps of my new zwo 224mc. anyway, i was sweating on the clouds as i was eyeing off the jetstream predictions from last week, the forecast was for cloud but it stayed clear til about midnight. :thumbsup:

All on the 12" dob with a 5x TV powermate, zwo 224mc, sharpcap, Pipp, AS3.

the transit was fairly low in the sky.

Cheers

thanks Marc yep pretty happy considering it was fairly low :thumbsup:

Also added Venus (26/8), and a Saturn (25/8) - for good measure.

Great shots Russell. Saturn is perfect and good to see Venus getting some attention- well captured.

These look great Russell. As others have mentioned, the first Jupiter obviously had the best seeing during capture. That's a nice camera you've got there, that one of Saturn is so smooth and clean. Colours are good too. Combined with your big aperture, you'll be having a lot of fun with the new camera, well done!

thanks Anthony - I agree nice to nab Venus even though it is quite featureless.



Thanks Marc - yeah I know i was keeping an eye on the jetstream for ages waiting for good conditions - a 48 hour window opened up, luckily the clouds stayed away (they weren't forecast to...). Looks like Wednesday night you will have good jetstream conditions (fingers crossed for clouds to stay away) - touch and go if it will be ok down here.




Thanks Mick :thumbsup: yep happy with the camera it does a great job.



Thanks Martin :thumbsup::thumbsup:


I also managed to put together a short timelapse

Nicely done Russell - I particularly like the first Jupiter image and that of Saturn.

I've also recently entered the world of ZWO so am keen to experiment too.

Cheers, Chris
