Jupiter, June 17
Some of Pauls good seeing has come across this way, here's an image from 2.38am this morning showing the GRS and some interesting activity in the Northern Tropical Zone.

One of the best I have seen! Like the way the crests fade - very sharp

Great work Anthony, gald to pass on the seeing, but it was not that good for me to begin with. I am sure it improved by the time it got to you. Well done.

Stunning Bird, I can't remember any other one of your images this crisp. Can't wait to see what you'll do with the 16"..

Hey Mark, no problem. The tricky part is predicting the seeing at the moment - it's a bummer to come out this way and then get bad seeing.

WOW that image does it for me can’t wait for the 16" to arrive.
Have you done any more testing with the bintel barlow 5x?

Troy, sadly the optical quality of the bintel barlow wasn't up to the job, not really a surprise given its price... The potential payoff was a 3-element barlow instead of my 4-element powermate, and also the bintel 5x barlow was physically a bit shorter which was nice, but the only thing letting it down was the optics :-(
