quick jupiter from Nambucca

[bird]

I'm in Nambucca heads on holiday (with the scope of course!) and on Wednesday night there was some very good seeing.

This is a quick and nasty process on my laptop, so the colour and sharpness will not be right, but it gives you the idea of what the seeing was like. When I get home in a week and a bit I'll re-process this properly.

Taken at about 2.26am local time.

Mike joins me here tomorrow for a week, fingers crossed for more good seeing!

cheers, Bird

Stupendous. Well done capturing the GRS in so prominent a position.

In awe.....more please sir, may I have some more? :prey:

the detail in the moon and within the centre of the GRS are incredible.

You'd have to be stoked! Cant wait to see the rest of the trips edits once your back in the real world! :D

Top work indeed

[Screwdriverone]

I cant wait for the "slow" ones, what about you Alex, Can you imaging Mike and Bird shootin' it out for a week to be the Jupiter Supremo?

Dang, better get a whittlin' stick, a vat of ol' moonshine and a real comfy chair coz this one's gunna get intrustin'

Yeeeehawwwwww!:party:

Chris

ps. Let me just see if I can improve on that image a bit with some processing......................... .......nah, just kidding :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very nice Anthony, I would be interested to see a usual process when you get home of this avi next to this quick version.

Be good to see how much more you can bring out on this image.

Have a good holiday.

[AlexN]

Yeah, im waiting with baited breath for the results from them once its all done and dusted... I was going to be there with them except my boss had other plans... I tell ya what i was about 1° of heated temper away from quitting my job to head down...

Then realised I needed the job to keep buying astro-toys~

[Matty P]

That is amazing Anthony, WOW! :scared: So much fine detail. :eyepop:

I can't wait to see what you can do with it when you get home.

:thumbsup:

[renormalised]

And that was the cheap and nasty version....if that's the case the "give it time to rise" version is going to look like the Mona Lisa!!!!!:eyepop::eyepop:

Geez, I'd be more than happy for THAT being my crowning glory version!!!:eyepop:

That piccie is absolutely brilliant!!!. The air up there must've been crystal clear to get that sort of detail. Mike's going to be in heaven if that's the sort of piccie he'll get out at the Heads:D

Can I give you some advice??....DON'T TOUCH THAT PICTURE!!!!!:eyepop:

[renormalised]

Addendum: That piccie is that sharp, it cut a hole through my LCD screen!!!:eyepop::P:D

[pelu]

Simply incredible.

[[1ponders]]

Fwooor!!!!. Where did you get that seeing on Wednesday night bird? It was total rubbish here.

[iceman]

Wow, that is very nice indeed! You're not wrong about how good it was!
Io looks brilliant!

Well i've just arrived and setup.. hoping for good seeing tonight!

[bird]

Mike's gone off to get some food, I'm busy decollimating his scope for him :-)

Bird

[renormalised]

Clear skies, fellas, and I hope another night as good as the last one. We all want to see seminal shots of Jupiter...so good that they're like looking at it from close up!!!:eyepop::D:D

[Lester]

Have a good shoot-out chaps.

[Screwdriverone]

:rofl: Classic, Just make sure that you check for any vaseline on your CCD chip before you take any more shots Anthony, or perhaps some glad wrap over the scope's aperture. :evil:

Chris

[iceman]

I'm pointing the hair dryer on his mirror while he's not looking! :lol:

[AlexN]

Mike, I've found a handful of freshly dug up turf down the open aperture works a charm...

[leon]

Well if that is just a quicky, :eyepop: don't bother posting the planned images, that is just superb ;)

Leon :thumbsup:

[Garyh]

Nice one Bird!
Hope the seeing is holding up there for you guys!
Has started going pear shape here now :(
But its good to see all those stars!
cheers Gary

[Screwdriverone]

Them's fightin' words Mike! :D

I hope you and your equipment survives long enough for some spectacular Jupiter shoot outs!

Cheers

Chris
