Jupiter - May 5 - Canberra

This shows a little promise for later tonight/ early tomorrow morning.

This was taken with Jupiter at only 39 degrees.

It's the best seeing we've had for about 3 weeks.

Hopefully will be very nice in a few hours with Jove higher than 75 degrees.

Matt, thats beautiful.

I have a 400D thru a Celestron 11" and this is what I get....

Very nice Matt, hope you got more! Can't wait to see them.

Hi Matt

Looks like a good night ahead. That’s a terrific image for only 39 degrees altitude. I assume that you used the old, reliable ToUcam?

Cheers

Hi Dennis.

Yes, was taken with the ProII. Still considering filter wheel/filter options for the DMK

Mike. I did capture more. Here's one of them. I don't think the seeing got any better, unfortunately.

I'll check the other AVIs just in case there's something worth processing.

Great shot, Matt, especially for such a low altitude. We've barely seen the stars over here for over 2 weeks. Can't complain about the rain though.

Very nice Matt, some nice captures.

Cheers

top stuff,

is it me or does the GRS look to be surrounded by more white now???

matt · #9 06-05-2007, 02:24 PM

cheers, dp.

And yes, there's more 'white space' around GRS this apparition.

Doesn't appear to be interacting with the other belts so much this year.
