Hi,

On Wednesday I had the pleasure of experiencing the Swine Flu back of the nose swab (THAT WAS FUN) so am waiting for the results but have been given the rest of the week of regardless what type of flu I have.

Loaded up with warm clothes and tamiflu I headed out into the back yard, to minimise the chance of infecting the rest of the family, and took the following shots of the moons passing over jupiter.

Taken through my W/O 110 refractor with 2.5 x powermate and Toucam. Initial 3 shots about 1 hour apart then 30 minutes.

The lengths some people go to to get out with the scope!

Nice images Mark!

Nicely done Mark.

If only you knew how true those words were Erick.

'eh Mark

wouldn't they let you bring the SCT home from work Mark?

I think you'd better pop in there tomorrow and liberate it. You'll need it over the weekend when the Jetstream becomes dead still and you are cursing for more focal lengths.
