JUPITER - May 25th... ugh seeing

[Robert_T]

Hi All, after riding high on my success of actual getting my first DSLR deep sky shot last night... and dragging in the ED80 and LXD75 for the night, I spied my planetary setup and though, "what the hell" I 'll leave that out and get up again around 4am.

After only a couple of hours kip I only just managed to drag myself down to the scope and was bitterly disappointed to see Joop dancing all over the place. :mad2:If I hadn't already got it all setup I would not have bothered. Give the seeing a 3-10 with lows of 2 and highs of 4.

Ah well here's one for better or worse I processed, probably the pic of a bad litter. It's my contribution to prove I haven't turned my back on my planetay pals;)

cheers,

Rob

Credit to you, Rob, for even bothering to get up and have a go:thumbsup:

I thought about it, but took a look at all the charts and thought better of it.

We really can't take a trick at the moment here in Bris/Qld. Sure, we've had a run of mostly clear skies, but that's not much help if the seeing is shot to blazes!!!

Given the conditions, I think you've actually done quite well.

Thanks for sharing....and glad you're still amongst the planetary crew.

Hi Rob,

Great image given the conditions.

It's awesome that you got out there :) I was too tired at midnight and packed up :(

Your technique of setting up, catching some sleep and getting out there early sound very appealing.

Have fun,
Doug
