Saturn storm & Jupiter May 31st 2010

[Quark]

Hi All,
Imaged Saturn last night and Jupiter this morning in fair to good seeing. As Bird has mentioned he is here in Broken Hill with me for the week and is setup beside my observatory. It was great to be imaging side by side with him, to see a real master at work.

Fortunately the weather out here, that has been pretty crook since May 21st, improved enough for us to get some good data of Saturn and the latest outbreak of activity from the SED's related storm and some good data this morning on Jupiter.

Have attached 1 RGB of the SED's related storm on Saturn, it seems to be very active at the moment and there are several bright spots within it. Also have attached an animation of the storm.

Have attached my best Jup from this morning.
Today my Flea3 arrived so with a little luck my next session will be with it.

Regards
Trevor

What an experience, to have Anthony there for a week. Very nice images Trevor. Hope there isn't too much scratching when the flea arrives.

All the best.

Thanks Ron, the weather is looking good for Wednesday night and great for Thursday morning.



Yes, the storm is very active for the moment.



Thanks Michaell, am sitting in my lounge room with the Flea3 connected and running at the moment, all seems fine.



Thanks Efrain, alway great to get together with other planetary imagers, this has been most excellent experience.



Thanks Lester, yep most enjoyable and extremely enlightening, if its clear tonight there will be at least two Fleas in my backyard, might need some Flea Powder.

amazingpics do you mind if i share these with my adelaide supernova group on our facebook link?

I'll be waiting for your first Flea3 photos. Certainly this Saturn photo of yours is every bit as good as my first Flea3 shots. But then the seeing is probably not equivalent.

Thanks Stephen, my Saturn & Jupiter images from June 3rd with the Flea3 turned out quite well. I have already posted them here on IIS.



I don't mind so long they are credited to me, although I am not a fan of facebook and dont use it.
