Jupiter this morning, April 26

Well, I went back up to Mt Stromlo again last night, and with the lessons learned from the previous night I built a proper wind shelter and hid inside with the scope, away from the nasty breezes.

The seeing was very good, probably the best I've had in Canberra. Here are 3 images from the session...

regards, Bird

Very nice Anthony.

The one on the right for me, although all 3 are superb.

I also like the soft "smoothness" of the one on the left.

Great work

Hi Anthony

Superb set of images, amazing dedication, excellent processing and so glad that you are getting the seeing and conditions that have failed to materialise in Canberra.

Cheers

Dennis

Nope, not tonight. With only a few days until the trip to Rocky, and a few other jobs to sort out before I go, this might be the last session until I get up there on the 4th.

it's a whole other level you're operating on Bird... gob smaking!

looks like you don't need to go to rocky after all, just head up the mountain.

seeing here is Brisbane has been appallingly bad this week!

cheers,
