Thanks Clayton, I really am most pleased with this animation and the amount of rippling that it reveals.

Fantastic images, i really cant say much more.
After just spending an hour or more looking through your site and your setup i'm actually quite pleased with my recent attempts, given the very basic setup i've got. Thanks for the help and advice on previous posts.
It has given me hope,inspiration and determination to do better in the future.Thanks again.
Cheers,
Duncan

Thanks very much Duncan for your comments and for taking the time to check out my website. It is not all that long ago that I was using the Meade DSI and ToUcam, we all have to start somewhere and the progression can be a most enjoyable one, As Buzz Lightyear would say "To Infinity and Beyond".

Thanks very much Bird, love these high pressure systems, they provide really stable air to image through. Also looking forward to the results of your testing with this new Sony chip. I think a more sensitive CCD would produce even better results with the seeing and generally cloud free sky's that we get out in this neck of the wood.

Thanks Gary, Richard McKim at the B.A.A also commented on the cloud in these Mars images and I think this is the best Saturn animation I have ever put together, regarding the level of rippling that it reveals.

All the best.

Thanks very much Lester for your most generous remarks, I really do appreciate them.

Thanks Paul, yes, I am fortunate to get the opportunities that my geographic location provides me. I probably should have tallied up the number of nights of good seeing that I had last year, would have been a considerable number. I think I could do better though with a more sensitive CCD, might have to start saving up, I think.
