Desperate Jupiter

[Lester]

Seeing was 1/10 Jupiter magnitude 2-6. In other words I should have been doing something else. But when you are haveing a good time with fellow astronomers as you know the seeing conditions are not everything.

Yes drewl everyone I had the company of the Right Honourable Mr Asimov.

I don't mind taking the wooden spoon for the worst Neximage of Jupiter.

Well, we got the GRS!

Yes, what a shocking night for anything astronomical. Better nights to come though.

Lester I'm gonna have to do a bit of work on that image if you don't mind...........be right back with a 'tweaked' version..

lester tried to tweek your image, not bad, way better than any of my efforts. keep it up and learn to have a go at manipuating the evidence . I hope you don't mind but had a slight go with what you posted

So is it true he's 7ft of brawn with a gaze that could frighten rampant wilderbeest...? or has he been just pulling our leg?

anyway good to see your pic - it's the poor nights where you learn the most

cheers,

Not a lot I could do with it I'm afraid........Yes, the wooden spoon go's to us! You can't take all the credit here Lester, thats not fair!! Worst image I've seen in years....WELL DONE

Guys, we had 35-40% transparency I reckon, due to a total coverage of light cloud. Just to see it on the laptop we had to crank the gain up to 100% & gain to at least 60%......it's a wonder we got anything at all as a final image

Thanks for your hospitality last night Lester & Celestine! I had a great time being in your cosy observatory in the company of you, your 14" meade SCT/goliath mount. What a great setup. Best night I've had in....well since the night before when you came to my place!

[asimov (John)]

And yet another go at it.......

You da man Asi, the tweeked one is very good after looking at mine. You might have made it tooooo good cause if someone else does a "WORSER" image then they will win the wooden spoon.

No! Good on ya, you take the credit for the good one, the bad one is mine.
