JUPITER has it's EYE on you! August 4th

Hi All, the briefest of imaging windows this weekend on Friday evening for a half hour as twilight faded and before the IronBark and the clouds claimed it I managed to snap off a few shots of Joop. The rest of the weekend was "shot" by evening cloud. Seeing was 3-4/10, such that the 4x powermate avis are rubbish, but the 2.5x powermate avis are ok.

I'm starting to get into the swing of the DMK and the filter wheel, even managing to change gain settings for the different colour channels in the 5sec window between avis. It's not such a bother after all.

Anyway, here's the best of 'em. Check out Jupiter's Great Red Eye... Reckon it's worth showing the individual colour channels as the detail is often far superior - just look at the red channel here.

cheers,
