Jupiter in spectacular seeing

[bird]

Thought this warranted a thread on it's own :-)

The seeing this morning was downright perfect for much of the time, felt like I was channelling hubble at times...

Here's the first image off the processing...

cheers, Bird

[matt]

Another excellent image, Anthony.

What I would give for some seeing of that type!

Can't wait to see what else you've got from this morning.

Spectacular image Bird.:thumbsup:

Strange, I keep getting a message "The Image was not found." :shrug:

[bird]

paul, maybe you clicked when I was uploading a new version... try a shift-reload.

[[1ponders]]

Most likely I guess. I like the new version :thumbsup:

[torr]

Very nice :thumbsup:
Jupiter was great viewing from my location as well at 400am.

Hmmm I just sus'd out how I can adapt a perminately borrowed nikon D70 prime focally without moving the primary mirror to my SW 8" Allready got the T-ring adapter, now I need a short 2" adapter to suit the nikon T-ring.

Nooooo its thunderstorms rain cloud lightning , its all here :sadeyes: .

PS. "It should be illegal to post images like that without some hint of what was used or how it was done (or is it a trade secret) ".One said with complete envy .;)

10 out of 10 for that image Anthony!

So much detail, Very well done.

[Garyh]

Wow! now thats incredible Bird!
Detail is mind blowing!
cheers

[edwardsdj]

Awesome detail Bird.

[Lester]

Hmmm, one to stick on the wall Anthony.

Wonder how long before you can beat that image.

I don't think its a 10/10, in this day and age one would call it a 11/10.

Good stuff and well processed. That detail is so fine.

[iceman]

Very nice and subtle processing, yet the detail still jumps out. Just beautiful.

I'm still going through mine, been busy today and haven't had much chance to process anything :( Damn fog ruined my perfect night but still some good data.

Can't wait to see more from this mornings session.. And more to come tonight!

[bird]

maybe I'm giving away too much small detail... how about thsi version??

Bird

[Lester]

Yep, I like that a lot. The smaller detail is oozing out all over the planet.

[Robert_T]

Anthony, sometimes words fail. I feel I could gaze at this one for an hour and still be finding new flecks of detail. Truly amazing:thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

wow now that is awesome!! Well done Mr Bird!! that is just simply amazing

[astroron]

Oh to have had that quality of imaging when Shoemaker-Levy 9 was clobbering Jupiter:(such a fantastic image :eyepop:
Ron

[AlexN]

brilliant images! The detail in the equatorial belt is incredible!

You should be very very happy with those.

[bird]

Another image from this session... possibly the best of the bunch.

cheers, Bird

[matt]

Wonderful, Anthony!:thumbsup:

The detail and quality of processing are superlative.

Well done.

[rmcpb]

cheers, Bird

[Lester]

All three are outstanding, just shows how consistant the seeing was.

Well done Anthony.

[netwolf]

Just fantastic amount of detail in these pics, it just oozes out at you every where you look.

[edwardsdj]

Awesome Jupiter sequence Bird.

This must be the best I have seen to date. Utterly amazing.

[spacezebra]

Come on Bird - fess up! You have a direct link to Hubble!

Well done - sharp and detailed.

Cheers Petra d.

[citivolus]

Wow, the next time I look at Jupiter I'm going to be very, very disappointed! Very nice.

[iceman]

I love the sequence, Anthony. I can understand why you were like a kid in a candy store.

Very natural and consistent processing.

Most excellent Anthony, this sequence of three is amongst the best Jupiter images I have seen. Colour and details are to die for, shame the GRS wasn't on that side at the time. They look like images from Pioneer 10 only perhaps even better..? :eyepop:

[Dietmar]

OH my goodness!

perfect, superb, gorgeous, etc...

[Starkler]

Well that's it mate you've reached the pinnacle and there's no more challenges.

Time to sell all the gear ;)

[bird]

If only that were true....
