Again high cloud obscured the view, the moon and jupiter and venus were able to shine through.
Seeing around 6/10, although at times ganymede was in view nicely, so maybe it pushed 8/10.
This image is an 10 fps optimized colour capture with registax processing by aligning on the moon. Medium wavelets.
Got a couple of raw mode at 5fps as well, so will work thru those as time permits. Also tried a few at 80% and 50% gain to see if there is a difference
Also viewed jupiter and 4 moons right up until 6:50am thru the eyepiece. Could still see it easily thru the finder at this time.
Go Dave! Another one to be proud of How do you do it though, about one or at most two early mornings a week is all my addled head can cope with otherwise I'm falling asleep at my desk.
This looks very similar to one my recent shots from a couple weeks back also taken with high cloud about, especially the white patches appearing like missing teeth within the main equatorial bands.
Ganymede looks way big in this too- an effect of the transparency?
Nice work Dave, I know just how bad the seeing was. Put the LX out to cool and did some viewing around 11, then gave up in disgust. Got up at 4:30 to more of the same.
Listen man...How about postin' some of your reject shots for a change, one gets sicka seein' DP-hubble shots all the time!...........................:lo l:
