not quite on starry night and it is 1/2 fast i reckon. i will do a visual...... 2/3 of the way to transit for the GRS, yup starry night is aprox 1/2 hour fast
ambient 1.9 degrees, mirror 3.1. it is going to be a close thing.
Had 5 minutes of pain when I was about the throw the platform down the hill but I found a way for it to start working properly again.
5 avi's captured, Ganymede the pimple has just squirted out from behind Jupiter. Seeing looks pretty good so far. I can see shading on ganymede in the raw frames as they're being captured.
hmm now i'm in a dilemma.. My wife will want me to come inside and watch Desperate Housewives with her.. my hands are freezing cold and I can barely type, and I promised her a cup of tea an hour ago!
Just joined the party - a bit of a late entrant. Scope outside cooling off now, but the seeing looks fairly poor in Brissie. Hope I haven't missed the show, as I won't be ready to image for another 30 mins - need to set up laptop, attached JMI focuser, acquire Jupiter, focus, plug in ToUcam etc.
Ahh, just had a look at the jet stream map - Brissie is in the green and yellow bit so that explains the poor seeing. Or should that be the Green & Gold for the socceroos - good luck to the boys.
Mike – I just made Narelle a cup of tea and there is no requirement for me to watch TV so I’m off outside again.
seeing was 8/10 i reckon. Jessica helped me get Jupiter with ears and then a couple of very nice ones with ganymede sitting nice and still like ice's!!
