I've taken better, & a lot worse!:shrug:

Seeing conditions was up there in the nine outa ten :D

6" refractor & toucam, 1500 frames stacked out of 2100 total.

Toucam settings: 5FPS Gamma 80% gain 70% Brightness 40%

This is a final image from the worst AV out of the 3 I got.

No filters.

great pastel colours!
hopefully, eyes are ready to go for jupiter.

we will triangulate (port lincoln, tassie, canberra) and do some measurements on jupiter.

VBSA: very big stubborn array

lol....hey I've lost the plot here, when is the GRS due??

[davidpretorius]

starry night has it transitting now, but i have found that starry night is at least 1/8 of a rotation out, so it should transit around 5:15???

[asimov]

Thanks.

Yes I just found out for myself on the laptop, it's now full! From what I saw, it's not far from the middle of transition now actually.

[asimov]

Don't worry Matt, your time will come soon :)

Thanks guys, but I just got to view Robs latest Saturn & WOW!? puts this thing I have here to absolute shame!! But with all due respect to the marvellous equipment I'm using at present, I thank you for giving me the images I am getting!

Yeah I'm happy with it.

The colour you've captured is beautiful and the brightness of the planet is most natural looking.
Who wouldn't be happy with such a nice shot?
If we only posted a picture here when it was the very best we'd ever done, we'd only get a couple of posts here a month at best. So keep the piccies coming.

Hi JJJ, have a look at my latest joop to verify I also post me worst as well, lol.

And thanks!
