It's been so long since I've had a chance to image...I almost forgot what I was doing!:lol:

Conditions are not too bad outside tonight. Still a bit of jetstream activity over Brisbane, hence the softness of the image...but better than it's been for a mighty long time so I'm not complaining.

It's interesting to note how dark the rings have become. I'm pleased to have captured a little of the Cassini Division, even though the ring plane is quite closed.

Might keep the scope set up for an ealry morning run on Jupiter....maybe:whistle:

Nice image Matt,
Like the colour and detail in the banding and the Cassini Division is there. It does look a bit soft, but overall a very nice result.

Well done
Regards
Trevor
