Nice one, Alex

A nice morning in Bris...if a tad breezy.

I got excited when I saw the clear blue sky this morning...only to check the maps and see atmospheric conditions don't look flash for tonight

I'd like to get some more good Jupiter data before the show's over for another year.

Man... do as I do... Battle it out with okish seeing...

Last week I got a few shots at 6.1M FL that came out pretty good.. (my best yet by far.) All is not lost... its just not perfect..

Nice work, Alex. Lovely image.

I have to agree, that is a fine image Alex.

Beautiful image Alex, lovely detail on the Moon.

Thanks guys.. I was actually pretty impressed that the moon came out as well as it did... I thought it would be too washed out, but a touch of editing and it came out fairly contrasty..

Er...yeah.

Trawl back through images I've produced over the last few years and posted here and you'll see that's exactly what I have done.

You keep on battling. I'll keep an eye on conditions and go from there

No offence...it's just horses for courses.

Having said that, I've set up tonight even though all the indicators are suggesting it's not going to be too good.

It just means I may not bother processing the data.

will do... communicating to you right now from 1m away from my scope/mount Im ready to fire it all up as soon as 3 alignment stars show themselves
