Seeing on the 2nd only came good just before clouds rolled in - the final red channel of Io leaving the disk was quite pretty though - pity no g or b for this one. Seeing was also a bit above average on the 3rd - images were a bit soft, but the huge swirls around the GRS were impressive. Thanks for looking. Regards ray

Thanks Daniel - very generous comment. It was great to watch Io slip off the disk, leaving it's shadow, wasn't it?

Thanks Mark. glad you liked the images.

Superb images Ray. The Galilean moon transit looks quite fantastic, as if I’m right there, looking out of my spaceship viewing port!:thumbsup:

Cheers

Yeah it sure was Ray, its the first time I have ever seen one of the moons transit across Jupiter. A awesome moment even if it happens quite regularly, I hope to catch a double transit in the near future.

Hi Lester. thanks a lot

Thanks Dennis. I was a bit annoyed that I missed the g,b bits of this image, but it was still worth getting - most of the detail is in the red anyway

that is a very generous comment Chris - thanks

Cheers Daniel

Thank you Giuseppe

Nice work Ray. You have had the luck with the seeing this year. Lovely images.

Thanks Trevor, seeing definitely is on the up, but the low altitudes are a killer.

Thanks Paul. Had a lot of easterlies on the leading edges of high pressure systems this year. they seem to aid seeing in this location - come in off the gulf water with fairly smooth flow.

Regards ray
