Thanks very much Mike, although I rated the seeing the same for each data set at 8 to 8.5/10 I think there was a peak in the seeing for that RGB. I really hesitate to rate the seeing at more than 8.5/10. When I went to Hawaii to observe with the Keck's at 14,000 feet I gained some appreciation of what 10/10 seeing really was, so I consider that here in the remote outback of Australia it is never going to to rate as good as it was at altitude in Hawaii so I think that the best seeing I will ever get would realistically be about 8/10. I think a lot of people rate their seeing based on the best and worst at there specific locations rather than taking a more absolute approach.

Yeah I have changed my approach to estimating the seeing. Since the bad run of seeing for me anything where the scope can be focused and is not wobbling around like a mad womans custard is good seeing. Anything other than that is just crap. When consistent seeing returns I will go back to the Pickering system.

Very well said Paul, when it has been as crook as it has been for most of the year I think it provides a whole new perspective of what is good or poor seeing. It is most interesting how some of our fellow images around the world put out really nice images but rate the seeing as poor, maybe they should get to experience what truly poor ( read crap) seeing actually looks like.

Reason: spelling
Thanks very much Mike, this will be my first IOTW and I really do appreciate the honer.

Thanks so much Marc for your most generous comment. Just imagine what sort of results we could achieve if we could build something in the backyard with the same sort of budget as was available for the HST.

Thanks very much Jennifer, planetary imaging can be a most satisfying and rewarding pursuit and I would encourage anyone with an interest in it to become actively involved.
that is one magnificent result. Your imaging is really progressing
every post you make.
I can't believe the clarity of that colour image. So much detail.
Brilliant, well done getting IOTW...well worthy.
More fantastic stuff Trevor.
The third RGB is a beauty IMHO, but they are all very very nice.
Thanks very much Rob.

Thanks very much Steve, the images in my original post were processed much to quickly in an effort to post the same day. I have gone back and done a repro of my best image which I think does the data justice.
Have attached it here. If you blink it with the original reckon you will see quite some difference.
Gorgeous images!!!,these have beautiful colour,and amazing detail,just so wonderful to see these.
The 'Red Spot' looks like it is getting slightly smaller,also it appears more 'red' in these image,over the last few years,many have called it the 'great oatmeal spot'
Oh yeh Trev that's excellent mate, very natural and perfect colours (as far as I can tell ) plus the limb is seemless. Great repro (my specialty) and now very close to Anthony at Exmouth and Peach for sure
