Love this one as its so tiny but you've picked up so much detail in the ring and a slight halo, very good colour.

John.

Very nice Steve. Another tiny little beast beautifully resolved and processed.

Hi Steve, I had to have another look at this wonderful image of yours. After doing a internet search comparing your image to others, I did not find any as good as yours; even an Anglo Australian telescope image.

I am interested to know what scope and camera you used, thanks.

[Paul Haese]

Very nice Steve. Processing and look of the image is really nice. Well done.

[Stevec35]

Thanks Paul



Thanks Lester. The details on the scope and camera are in the caption beneath the image. The scope is a 31.75cm (12.5") RCOS Ritchey Chretien and the camera is a SBIG STL6303E.

Another fine planetary Steve, well done

Great shot Steve..did you image this with the C14 before..?

PN's really are fasinating huh?

[Stevec35]

Nothing wrong with your memory Mike. I certainly did but the image doesn't compare with this one. My only reservation is that the colour is slightly different to the Malin AAO shot so I guess, by definition, it must be wrong <g>.



Thanks Trevor

You should try a big crop of your image . I compared at the same scale to this image from Chile with a 14.5" F9 RC and although the seeing is a little better in the Chile image theres no extra detail to be seen in the Chile image.. Amazing to think that you got that from a Canberra backyard.

Thanks Mark. Perhaps I'll add a full size crop to the page.

[strongmanmike]

He he, I can pick any image and usually who took it too, even if it is cropped and rotated, I have a memory for dates and events too, don't know why :question:...just one of those things I guess :) ask me who sang that, or remembering the words to a song or names and meeh.. I'm useless :lol:
