Jupiter this morning, 28th Feb

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

Had a nice clear night in Canberra, and everything worked out quite nicely this time. The seeing was still only average, maybe 6/10, but I can't control that...

Here's a set of images, showing in particular the new orange oval BA. It was while last year, and so now Jupiter has 2 "red storms"

regards, Bird

i like this shoot the best of your current batch, can't wait to chat, as yours and ice's look so dark on my lappie, but if i move my laptop screen away from straight on, say to 5 or 10 degrees, the image improves dramatically and that stand out so nicely!

do you process on a crt?

lcd screens are usually very bad for viewing images like these. I use an lcd screen on my main pc for processing but then I have to check & adjust them on another pc with a crt.

Good stuff Bird.

I'm glad one of us is getting some good images from Canberra. You should be getting some more decent captures this morning?

Had a look on the way to work this morning and it looked quite nice apart from some thin high cloud??

I'm stuck in a vicious pattern at the moment of not being able to do any imaging during the week and praying for good weekend weather which doesn't arrive

Let's hope the change of season proves a little kinder.

Gee, Venus looked good again this morning.

I agree - especially on a laptop. I do my processing on the laptop if i'm at home up to the point where I need to recombine the R/G/B. At least you can chug through the boring stuff without worrying too much what it looks like or what colour it is.

When I put the laptop in the docking station at work with the CRT, that's when I do my recombine and final adjustments.

Excellent image Anthony, especially given the conditions. Nothing wrong with sizing it down Still looks great. Heaps of detail.

Oh except it's rotating the wrong way

I'll have to start finishing my images on a CRT as well... constantly shocked at how dark my images appear when I view them on the CRT at work

Those are excellent Jupiter images Anthony. Each contains a plethora of detail and they are masterfully processed.

Cheers
