19th April Jupiter

Hi all,

This morning was my first look at the GRS for a while, just that it hasn't been visable when I have been imaging.

Conditions were 5/10 with high thin cloud that effected transpearancey slightly.

Another very nice image, Lester. Plenty of detail in the GRS.

Great to see you taking advantage of the clear skies. Persistance pays off.

Wow that's a beauty Lester !!!

Thanks Mike and Andrew,

I hope to get a Ganymede transit tomorrow morning.

Another great image Lester. Lots of detail showing especially in the GRS.

Good luck for the transit tomorrow. :thumbsup:

Thanks Matty,

I am getting use to waking up at 3am now, so better make the most of it.

They just keep getting better!

[Lester]

Thanks Matt.

I missed the Ganymede transit this morning due to high cloud.

Next time.

What good detail you have captured there.

I think its a terrific image and well worth posting for comment.

I remember when I first saw the big gas planets through my first scope when I was about 14, and they will always hold a fascination for me.

Well done. Keep up the good work.

[Lester]

Thanks Geoff for your comments.

Sorry to go off topic Lester but I saw in your sig that you have a modded DFK, what mods did you do to it?

[Lester]

Hi Andrew,

I removed the inbuilt filter from the front of the sensor. It was hampering the clarity I was getting. I would see Jupiter nice and clear, then image it and the results weren't very nice at all. Also there was a dust bunny under it from new, and that is gone now also.
