JUPITER - May 25th... ugh seeing

Hi All, after riding high on my success of actual getting my first DSLR deep sky shot last night... and dragging in the ED80 and LXD75 for the night, I spied my planetary setup and though, "what the hell" I 'll leave that out and get up again around 4am.

After only a couple of hours kip I only just managed to drag myself down to the scope and was bitterly disappointed to see Joop dancing all over the place. If I hadn't already got it all setup I would not have bothered. Give the seeing a 3-10 with lows of 2 and highs of 4.

Ah well here's one for better or worse I processed, probably the pic of a bad litter. It's my contribution to prove I haven't turned my back on my planetay pals

cheers,

Rob

Credit to you, Rob, for even bothering to get up and have a go

I thought about it, but took a look at all the charts and thought better of it.

We really can't take a trick at the moment here in Bris/Qld. Sure, we've had a run of mostly clear skies, but that's not much help if the seeing is shot to blazes!!!

Given the conditions, I think you've actually done quite well.

Thanks for sharing....and glad you're still amongst the planetary crew.

Hi Rob,

Great image given the conditions.

It's awesome that you got out there I was too tired at midnight and packed up

Your technique of setting up, catching some sleep and getting out there early sound very appealing.

Have fun,
Doug
