Two wees ago i bought this new Lens for my Pentax IstD, but do you think the weather has helped......Not on your life, it's been lousy non stop from the day i bought it.
Addmititly Ballarat needs the rain, but i need a fix of Star Time too.
…..we have clear skies but fairly ordinary seeing. I have Jupiter on the notebook display in the back garden and I cannot focus on the disc as the wobbly seeing is not giving even fleeting glimpses of anything sharp. When I pan to one of the moons, I can get good focus but upon returning to the planetary disc....mushy bands and a blank disc.
Yea rodger i forgot about the Moon, not that iv'e seen it for a while, at least when the clouds are gone, then maybe the Moon will have nicked off as well.

That's my hope. Forecast is for clear skies here late in the coming week, which would suit well for the moon too.
Brisbane calling......bulletin #2
Seeing has improved to the extent that the white ovals in Jupiter's belts are more or less continuously visible and resolved on-screen in K3CCDTools. A nice Galilean moon is approx 1 disc to the right.
Thats a good one! Great detail in there, can't wait until you hit it with your wavelett techique!
Sorry Asi, I have misled you....."fresh off the display" actually meant I was doing it outside in the back garden, and the image fully processed in Registax whilst I was also capturing in K3CCDTools....so what you see is the final product of 800 stacked with Wavelet 1=20.
And, the seeing has just gone mushy, really mushy, but at least we have clear skies!
