Thanks Lester, some of your earlier images of Jupiter, this apparition, were outstanding. I think you underestimate your ability and equipment. I think you have been producing some top stuff, it really does depend on the seeing.

What is your setup ie scope / camera....( excuse my ignorance  ) |
Thanks David, I have a 16" F4.5 Newt that is highly modified. It is on a German Equatorial mount, designed and built by me. The scope is in a two storey observatory, designed and built by me in my backyard.
The scope has a 27 point primary mirror cell and a JMI Moto Focus.
The mount has an Annsen Technologies dual axis drive and drive corrector by Peter Melander. Recently I built a Peltier cooling system for my primary mirror. I posted a detailed report on that on the ATM forum, I think you posted a comment on that thread.
I use a DMK 21AU04 CCD, an Orion filter wheel with Astronomic RGB filters.
