5:00 UT + 11 makes it about 4pm our time!!

That's an amazing capture in the middle of the arvo

[davidpretorius]

hee hee,

what is the correct way to mention UT, should it be my local time less 11 hours??

[matt]

mate

Just subtract 11 hours from your local time when you captured the image. That will give you UT.

It'll be minus 10 once daylight savings ends, if Tas is currently operating on EDST????

If you took that at 5 this morning and tas is on daylight saving time, that's be 1800 UT, I think???

You then express the time on your pix in UT... without reference to local time since UT is Universal and understood as a time relative to one location - the old GMT

There are also sites you can visit which give UT. Just don't know what they are, sorry

[beren]

Wow DP you really are producing some remarkable work well done mate.....is that some surface detail on that jovian moon {?} to

[asimov (John)]

Sorry Dave! Just realized I forgot to answer your email question!?

Yes....this one mate, this one! Geez I'm stunned....what an excellent shot!

It has everything...great colour/moon detail!?/3D effect....AWESOME!!

I hope to get as half a good a shot....when I've served my sentence handed down by the weather gods as penalty for having the cheek to buy a new scope!

[videoguy]

Nice work Dave..looks like some vague detail on the satellite there too

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

That looks great, Davo! That moon is particularly impressive! Looks like Mars.

[acropolite (Phil)]

Nice work DP, even if it was taken mid afternoon

[asimov (John)]

Geez, I thought you guys knew it was best to image jupiter in mid afternoon??...Oh well...These guys need some education, huh Dave?

[davidpretorius]

damn right asi, they are all too eager to take the easy way and observe and image at night!

[asimov (John)]

Now if I could just figure out how to image thru a thick cloud covering.....

I know, I shall point the SCT 'african lion' cooler skyward & blow them away!
Be gone oh wretched foul weather-god spawn!
