Sorry to take so long to get back to you all. I've been out getting ready for another go but the dew got the better of me by 1am tonight so I've packed up already. Really need a dew solution in Brisbane

The SPC900NC is a great unit. I've been thrilled with mine. My first light was of Saturn and it was hopeless compared to this.

Hope first light goes well for you. Please make sure you post the results (no matter how bad)

I was out as well this morning around the same time, and captured a very similar scene with the DMK and C9.25.

The seeing here at Wynnum wasn't too flash, though.

I'm sure we've got some cracker seeing on the way. If not this week...soon. It just has to happen!!!

Well done...and keep those images coming. Jove is getting bigger and brighter all the time.

Thanks so much for looking Matt. Your advice when I first got my cam was invaluable.

Seeing wasn't that good for me either but it kicked but on what I was getting to the North-West when imaging Mars and Saturn.

I really hope better seeing eventuates for all of us in Brisbane.

I'm very excited about Jupiter and can't wait for it to get a bit bigger

Most impressed and expecting big things from you with a start like this

Thanks very much for your kind comments Robert.

Thanks David. I've yet to process each of the RGB channels seperately as you have suggested to me in the past. Made a start today (following Mike's article) but it's just so time consuming.

I've got a long way to go before my Jupiters are even close to yours
