Put together a collection of Jupiter shots from 2012-2013. All taken with DFK & Auto Dob 250 :

Ah I remember that planet. Nice resolution through December. Heaps of detail. Too low for me here, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Thanks Paul. Yes you have high Saturn and we Jupiter. Never got great seeing during opposition in 2012 so fingers crossed for the next season. Can't complain too much as 2012 was the 2nd wettest on record in the UK!

September had the best seeing and October the worst.

Very nice body of work Stuart, some super detail in there and an impressive record of the apparition.

All fine examples, Stuart

Thanks John! Jup will still be a healthy 60 degrees next time here in the UK so hoping to get that centerfold shot.

Which means it'll be *slightly higher* for us here...Hoping it works that way anyway, lol.

60 degrees... I can only dream!

Very nice collection Stuart.

Thanks Eric but would you dream about Saturn at 24 degrees? Bit of a nightmare for us.l
