Jupiter, August 9

[bird]

Hi all,

Here's an image of Jupiter from this morning, taken from just outside our motel room where Leisa & I are staying in Exmouth WA. The seeing was pretty good for this run. I'll be here with the scope until the end of September, using my laptop for imaging and processing...

cheers, Bird

Holy cow! Looks like this spot might be the one!

[Screwdriverone]

OOOOOH a new Bird image, quick, lets take a look....

FAR OUT!

I mean, SERIOUSLY!

WOW, that has got to be the best one you have ever done......

Hire the moving van Anthony, NOW..who'd have thunk it?

Simply stupendous image, once again. Going back for another look.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers

Chris

Thanks guys, I'm hoping for much better seeing to come :-) It got very windy this afternoon but now it's dead calm again and the seeing looks very good for tonight, fingers crossed..

:eyepop: One of, if not the best you've posted to date. This is not far from looking at an HST or flyby shot. Quite amazing really. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Just googled Exmouth. It's right on the coast. Isn't the ocean proximity a problem for seeing. I thought inland was better for astro? Obviously not?

[Paul Haese]

Ah so the hunch pays off. Will give you a call and discuss further.

[DavidU]

Goodness me. I can't wait to see what happens when it all falls into place.
What made you think Exmouth was going to be good?

[renormalised]

Exmouth is normally dry as a bone. The wind there is usually an easterly, except in the afternoons, especially at this time of year. That's why the skies are so good there.

You should see them out Meeka' or Wiluna way. Get away from the town and the mine (at Wiluna) and they're even better:)

Desert skies...mind you at this time of year it gets pretty damn cold!!!!:)

[bird]

Thanks guys, now we're in the grip of strong winds here for the next couple of days by the forecast, but then looking good for the weekend...

cheers, Bird

David,

Anthony and I had thoughts that with the laminair flow off the ocean and the height just above the jet stream line it ought to have good seeing on most nights. Wind excepted of course.

[DavidU]

Ah yes ! very clever. Looks the goods.

[rick01]

Veery nice :). Cant't wait for excellent seeing image :).
