Seeing was 1/10 Jupiter magnitude 2-6. In other words I should have been doing something else. But when you are haveing a good time with fellow astronomers as you know the seeing conditions are not everything.

Yes drewl everyone I had the company of the Right Honourable Mr Asimov.

I don't mind taking the wooden spoon for the worst Neximage of Jupiter.

Well, we got the GRS!

Yes, what a shocking night for anything astronomical. Better nights to come though.

Lester I'm gonna have to do a bit of work on that image if you don't mind...........be right back with a 'tweaked' version..

So is it true he's 7ft of brawn with a gaze that could frighten rampant wilderbeest...? or has he been just pulling our leg?

anyway good to see your pic - it's the poor nights where you learn the most:thumbsup:

Not a lot I could do with it I'm afraid........Yes, the wooden spoon go's to us! You can't take all the credit here Lester, thats not fair!! :D Worst image I've seen in years....WELL DONE :rofl:

Guys, we had 35-40% transparency I reckon, due to a total coverage of light cloud. Just to see it on the laptop we had to crank the gain up to 100% & gain to at least 60%......it's a wonder we got anything at all as a final image :)

Thanks for your hospitality last night Lester & Celestine! I had a great time being in your cosy observatory in the company of you, your 14" meade SCT/goliath mount. What a great setup. :thumbsup: Best night I've had in....well since the night before when you came to my place! :D

You da man Asi, the tweeked one is very good after looking at mine. You might have made it tooooo good cause if someone else does a "WORSER" image then they will win the wooden spoon.

No! Good on ya, you take the credit for the good one, the bad one is mine.:thumbsup:
