Jupiter & Callisto Nov 23rd 2013

[U.K.Cowboy (Stuart)]

Had a quick late session this morning totalling 15 mins. Did not have time to collimate and scope had been cooling for 1 hour, Jupiter was down to 44 degrees elevation so not really ideal circumstances but if seeing is good anything is possible and despite fog and thin cloud being forecast (which it was when i first put the scope out) this had cleared and Jupiter was rock solid like a snooker ball.

Thanks. I hate noise but I dont see too much on these.

Well done Stuart, reckon you should be pleased with this. Regarding the alt, I recall Damian posting an absolute ripper Saturn captured at 26 degrees alt.

Thanks Trevor yes anything is possible with good seeing. If i can get that at 60 degrees around opposition....mmmmmm

Thanks Matt this will be the last of my images with the Dob for some time as it looks like I've ruptured the medial ligament in my knee. Hopefuly I may be able to use my little 5" Mak in a few weeks unless I need an op. Not a happy camper!

Sorry to here about your Knee Stuart, hope it is not as bad as it sounds.

Cheers
Trevor
