Images from this morning (14th April)

Here's the first image I've processed from this mornings magical seeing at Murrumbateman. It's taken me all day cause I was trying to get rid of some nasty artifacts that were showing up on the bright limb, but in the end I gave up, they seem to be in the raw data and nothing I could do would remove them... in any case it's hard to see in the final image so I needn't have worried (look close at the bright limb and you an still see the problem).

This image was taken at 5.43am, well into morning twilight, just before high cloud ended the session. This was the last image taken, and I've processed it first because it's kinda interesting.

I'll have more and better images to follow - the seeing an hour earlier was spectacular, easily the best I've ever seen

regards, Bird

That is terrific, Anthony.

I can't believe how crisp and easy to see Io is against the planet's disc.

The shadow is also very nice.

If you've got better stuff than this from this morning, bring it on!

I'm heartbroken that I had cloud at the same time as you had seeing like this.

Ah well... there'll be other nights.

Yawn - not yet another superb, world class, gob smacking image.

Gee, you are getting tedious with this constant stream of amazing images - give us a bad one every now and then - I've run out of superlatives and also have a sore bottom from falling off my fit ball too many times whenever I open a Jupiter post from you!

Cheers

Dennis

my god..................bird has used an emoticon......mods, please check to see if this is allowed.

love the polar detail on io, reminds me of one of mr peachs'

the super run continues...................

by the way, we have just had dinner with your wife..the two Lisa's got on like a house on fire and my two girls just wanted Leisa's attention all night........apparently you were coming for a visit tooo.........but got sidetracked by the seeing for two weeks!

leisa wants to know if you want any food bought back from tassie......hopefully you are getting enough sleep and food to eat.......the integration back into society company are on standby as soon as the seeing goes below 8/10

Excellent Image, nice and big and sharp.

I wonder why I only see the shadow of Io.

Io is there, it's just hiding :-) Consider it a challenge...

I've reworked that last one a bit, I think this is a bit better. I can't delete the one above cause I've sent out links to it in email, hope nobody minds me re-posting it.

Curious to know whether other people like the revised one too?

cheers, Bird
