Jupiter - 26th May in excellent conditions

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all

This image was taken on Saturday night, 26th May in excellent conditions. There's more data to go through but this is indicative of the quality of the session.

There's a bright white spot in the NNTB that I haven't noticed in my images before - is it new?

12" newt on EQ6, DMK21AF04 + 5x powermate. FL ~ 10,360mm.

Attached is a native size and a 150% upscaled version. More to come in the next day(s). Loads of data to go through!

Thanks for looking.

Wow, yet again Mike – another image laden with stunning detail. Yes – that white spot looks new, I cannot recollect having seen it before. The Salway Spot?

Cheers

Nice shots, Mike.

I also captured that same bright white spot in my images earlier that night.

I think it is new

Okay, the Salway-Watson Spot!

Thanks guys.

Chris Go says the spot has been there for a little while, so it's not too new

Wasn't claiming it, Big D.

But would be honoured with that nomenclature!!!!

Again, very nice work Mike.

Mike,
More fantastic results, I tried to image on the 26th but conditions in Melbourne were bad, Jupiter was jumping all over the screen. With the 2.5x power mate results were average but at 5x forget it could not extract much detail with the air turbulance.

The white spot I also noticed and thought I had over exposed but it now explains why it is just in one area. It is very prominant at 2.5x. I will post my results when I have a chance.
