Some of Pauls good seeing has come across this way, here's an image from 2.38am this morning showing the GRS and some interesting activity in the Northern Tropical Zone.

Simply Stunning image Bird,

Beautifully resolved, sharp as, a text book image.

The seeing has been brilliant the last two nights and looks like it will continue through to the weekend.

Just brilliant. Stunning, huge!

Continued rain and clouds here.

[CoolhandJo]

One of the best I have seen! Like the way the crests fade - very sharp

[Screwdriverone]

Fabulous, simply fabulous.

Well Done indeed!

Cheers

Like Mike said we have rain but you have wonderful clear skies - what a result Anthony!

[Paul Haese]

Great work Anthony, gald to pass on the seeing, but it was not that good for me to begin with. I am sure it improved by the time it got to you. Well done.

Hi Anthony

Gosh – I cannot recollect ever having seen a better Jupiter! The detail, tones and colours are simply exquisite and the processing really does justice to the data. A really excellent capture – well done!

Cheers

Stunning Bird, I can't remember any other one of your images this crisp. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the 16"..

Love to come back out to Murrumbateman one night to have a look.

[bird]

Hey Mark, no problem. The tricky part is predicting the seeing at the moment - it's a bummer to come out this way and then get bad seeing.

cheers, Bird

That is a fantastic image, so clear!:)

[torr]

I know I dont post much , unforunately dont get out much either, But that is one awesome Jupiter , well done sir .

[Troy]

WOW that image does it for me can’t wait for the 16" to arrive.
Have you done any more testing with the bintel barlow 5x?

:eyepop:

[bird]

Troy, sadly the optical quality of the bintel barlow wasn't up to the job, not really a surprise given its price... The potential payoff was a 3-element barlow instead of my 4-element powermate, and also the bintel 5x barlow was physically a bit shorter which was nice, but the only thing letting it down was the optics :-(

I'm still on the lookout for a 3-element 5x barlow but they seem hard to find.

cheers, Bird
