I too thought your last image was excellent - but this one just blows everything away! I've never seen anything like it.
Congratulations on such a beautiful result, I like how there's even detail inside the small dark storms on the edge of the missing SEB

I had to add this to the thread as this just cracked me up and had to share as it shows the quality of your image.
I just showed my partner your image and she knows nothing of Planetary imaging her words exactly: "What am i looking at, some hubble image or something?"
My thoughts exactly, pass-able as a hubble to the untrained eye and even the trained eye

David, part of that is already underway - Mark will be working on a 16" mirror for me as soon as we get the blank from Newport... that's taking some time to sort out (long story).
cheers, Bird

Wow! That's great. So many details on the surface. You can see every wisp. Almost could touch it. Inspiring stuff.

Congratulations on an incredible image. It is the best image I have ever seen and would love to see what a perfect raw video looks like. Well done.

Superb image Anthony, certainly the best image taken from Australia ever. Without seeing a comparison of image scale to Damians fine work I am not prepared to say it total equals his work. However, I am guessing that it is very close indeed and may well be better than barbados. Incredible detail and superb processing. Seeing is everything as we talked about the other day. Looks like you found a good spot. If I don't make it this year I am definitely in next year. I would love my C14 to be imaging in those conditions.

LOL I'm getting eyestrain from having my eyes jammed up against the monitor, trying to absorb more detail.
Amazing Anthony, here's to more nights like that.

Amazing Bird.
It's interesting comparing your shot with the old colour photographs made with the Palomar 200" scope back in 1960's. Amazing how superior this image is with less than 10% of the aperture!

Very, very special.
I agree with Shane's suggestion - how about a simpleton's supplement to the idiot's guide for capturing eyepopping shots of Jupiter!

Well I just did a fairly in depth comparison and upscaled Anthony's image and compared it to some of Damian's best. I am gonna retract my previous statement. This work is the best image produced by an amateur of the planet Jupiter. I don't say that lightly either. The processing is better (the planet looks like a planet from orbit) and the seeing must have been better. Congrats Anthony. This is not just an IOTW, it is an image of the month, year, etc.

Thanks again for all the comments... this stuff is addictive - you'd think I'd be happy now, but all I can think of is how soon the clouds will b****r off so I can go hunting for more :-)
cheers, Bird
