Jupiter June 3rd prior & post impact

Hi All,
What an amazing week it has been with Bird visiting my observatory in Broken Hill. He was a great help in sorting out my Flea3 and we have captured some very good data but it was a very special moment to hear the woops and exclamations from Bird when the fire ball from the impact came up while he was capturing the red channel of a data set.

I have attached an RGB from 6 min's 29 sec's prior to the impact and another that was 4 min's 31 sec's after the impact.

It has been an incredible experience to be able to see how a true master of his art goes about his craft. From time to time, throughout each night we checked out each others setup and live feed and when we were both capturing data we were still close enough to be able to talk to each other.

I am so pleased for Bird, I have been telling him how good it is in Broken Hill and as it turned out, if he had stayed in Canberra it was raining and he would not have captured any data.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
