Jupiter Nov 2,3

[Shiraz (Ray)]

Seeing on the 2nd only came good just before clouds rolled in - the final red channel of Io leaving the disk was quite pretty though - pity no g or b for this one. Seeing was also a bit above average on the 3rd - images were a bit soft, but the huge swirls around the GRS were impressive. Thanks for looking. Regards ray

[Cosmic (Daniel)]

Superb work there Ray, great amount of detail captured.

[icytailmark (Mark)]

[Shiraz (Ray)]

Thanks Daniel - very generous comment. It was great to watch Io slip off the disk, leaving it's shadow, wasn't it?

Thanks Mark. glad you liked the images.

regards Ray

nice and real .Ray.
photo is what jupiter looks like from 440million miles , average , so your image is taken at 10x the moon's orbit . is about the best , as we see through our atmosphere ..

thanks very much Rob.

Thanks Brian. It sure is a long way away - took about 1/2 hour just for the light to get here.

Thanks for the views Ray, the detail is great. All the best.

[Dennis]

Superb images Ray. The Galilean moon transit looks quite fantastic, as if I’m right there, looking out of my spaceship viewing port!

Cheers

Dennis

Yeah it sure was Ray, its the first time I have ever seen one of the moons transit across Jupiter. A awesome moment even if it happens quite regularly, I hope to catch a double transit in the near future.

[Shiraz (Ray)]

Hi John, thanks very much

Hi Lester. thanks a lot

Thanks Dennis. I was a bit annoyed that I missed the g,b bits of this image, but it was still worth getting - most of the detail is in the red anyway

that is a very generous comment Chris - thanks

Cheers Daniel

Thank you Giuseppe

Nice work Ray, sure is encouraging to see an improvement in the seeing, hope it is a sign of things to come.

[Paul Haese]

Nice work Ray. You have had the luck with the seeing this year. Lovely images.

[Shiraz (Ray)]

Thanks Trevor, seeing definitely is on the up, but the low altitudes are a killer.

Thanks Paul. Had a lot of easterlies on the leading edges of high pressure systems this year. they seem to aid seeing in this location - come in off the gulf water with fairly smooth flow.

Regards ray
