Jupiter at 6:30-7:00 this evening. Caught the Io transit.

Okay its not good but better than what I saw last night.

The first one is at 10fps and the second at 5 fps both 75% gain.

Tried some at 20fps but the dreaded onions came in.

Obviously your mother never taught you to not play in the jetstream after dark. Very naughty!

Nice effort mate, I've seen worst pics!...mainly from me!

Can't you get sucker holes in a clear sky?

Thats what I was waiting for.

The only sucker out there was me. I got to wear this neximage out before next week.

Funny how the seeing can vary, Lester. It wasn't too bad over here and usually us city dwellers have a worse time of it. A couple of clear nights seem to be on the way. Pretty good image considering the poor seeing.

Thanks Graeme.

Ah, blink and missed it seeing... you've got to love this game

nice transit Lester, you're probably sick of reading this, but it's still appearing very dark on my CRT compared with most joops on the site

Thanks Robert,

I don't mind you telling me, will try a brighten them more from now on.

Also helps to bury the dreaded onion rings, but I am not getting as many as I use to. High gain usually kills em, but not always.
