Hi all,
After complaining about the difficulty of imaging with a Dob (
link), I went and got myself an EQ6, better barlow and decided to give Jupiter a more serious attempt before it's gone for good.
The images from 3 days at the end of October are below, along with a grayscale animation of Io + shadow + GRS. The blue channels were absolutely rubbish so I decided to create some RG false-colours along-side them to compare. Which do you guys prefer? The detail seems identical to me, looks like the blue channel doesn't have anything useful in it.
Also although the seeing on 31/10/2008 was absolutely fantastic (I've never seen it that good!) and incredibly better than the other days, the final image quality doesn't seem to be that much better. Have I reached the limits of my 200mm Newt?
