I said I'd be out if it was clear... well it wasn't really and I wasn't going to bother except I'd already setup the scope and had the cat-cooler in with temp sensor inserted as well. As darkness fell worst seeing I can remember 1/10... it did however creep up to a respectable 4-5/10 and I got a few shots in. Nothing compared to our SA pals, but better for me than the last couple of weeks.
PS - Have you placed your order for the 14" 'scope and Lumenera yet?
ah well, that be one of those things you have to like approach quietly with only the occasional side-long glance till your within pouncing range... not quite there yet
last night when i was eyeballing and collimating, europa looked just like you have it. I can't ever remember being able to view the moons when the are in front of the planet. The seeing was great and razor sharp. THen the camera went in and the seeing went south!!!
Great effort Robert considering the poor seeing in your location, well done.
Melbourne had it's typical 3-4/10 seeing last night and the best shot I was able to get http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnkazanas/175051443/ (did not even bother with extensive processing, simply Registax)
