It was nice to find some good seeing this morning - Oval BA is setting at lower right. The moon shadow is from Europa, I haven't realigned it to get rid of the motion blur.

cheers, Bird

Hmmm? why do you watch and image this planet so much Antonio :question:...are you expecting an impact any minute or something :rolleyes: :screwy:

Looks strange with one equatorial belt missing but lovely and detailed none the less :thumbsup:

Mike :D

yeah, you gotta be nuts to keep doing this... especially when 99% of the time the seeing is awful... call me a masochist :-)

Another top class image Anthony. I see this planetary imaging a bit like fishing, some get the big ones and others look on and dream. I am still dreaming.

God sake, you must live in a seeing mecca! A superb image and nicely processed. Wanting some of that seeing too.

Thanks again, wait until I find some really good seeing :-) Hopefully there's some over in WA, we leave on our 5200km trek on Thursday this week...

Rob I'm using a 14.5" f/5 newtonian that has a custom Royce mirror, a 5x TV powermate and a Flea3 mono camera.

cheers, Bird

I can not imagine how you get this. Neither in my best moments of seeing I can take a picture remotely similar. It's definitely magic.

Truly magnificent.:eyepop:
I have only ever tried to image it once, it had marginally more surface detail than Europa in your image :rolleyes:
I have been practicing a lot on the sun so it might be time to dust of the 12" and give jupiter a go again. You have inspired me.

Brilliant Bird... No real way to describe the class you display with these images. That animation on the other thread is also in a class of it's own.
