Unbelievable dedication.

Congratulations.
Thanks Rocket! A good mount and a set of software tools written by amateur astronomers for amateur astronomers made the task more bearable during my times of low motivation!

How long did it take you to process all those! Be worth sending that to APOD I reckon.

Thanks Robby! At the time, the capture of the 132+ AVI's seemed quite arduous, but that paled into insignificance compared to the 4 days of AVI processing afterwards!

Knowing how long it takes to do around 20 avis, I'm staggered at the scale of effort this must have required.

you can now retire

cheers,
Thanks Robert! Your nice words mean a lot to me, as I really admire your work and have learned a lot from you and the other Jupiter guys on IIS.

Thanks John! Go for it mate - posting my miserable efforts helped me improve; it's all part of the apprenticeship and they're a bunch of helpful people on IIS.
