Oh can it Dave!

I don't want to hear that! Surrounded by 8/10's!

Just joking, glad you guys got some good ones!

davidpretorius · #22 12-06-2006, 08:59 PM

how far from the ocean are you asi? and did you have on shore breeze ice??

I have noticed northerly winds bring better seeing as it is about 40km to bass strait

Pulled the plug in Brissie - couldn't even get a decent focus on Jupiter in spite of "focusing" on the moons, busy mimicking Lissajous figures, whilst cavorting around the screen doing their jet stream boogie.

Ah well, sweet dreams for me tonight, whilst you lucky ones get to process your avi's!

Cheers

Dennis

About the same here Dennis. Oh well, maybe next time..

What a night,

Well Asi if last night was a 1/10 I rate tonight a -5. Took 20 A.V.I.s and have deleted them all. Onion rings with 75% gain, never heard of it before. Onion rings that resist gain.

Saw red Junior and a glimpse of small spot just off of it. Be interested to see if David or someone else with better conditions can resolve anything in that area.

asimov (John) · #27 12-06-2006, 10:01 PM

Yeah, were certainly seeing the worst of it Lester. When we finally see a 6/10 we'll probably give it a 15/10! I've got detail on my images...blurry detail that is. I'll be posting them tomorrow to give the forum a laugh!

asimov (John) · #28 12-06-2006, 10:05 PM

Gain resistant onions huh!? We only get the best onions down south! Now thats QUALITY SA onions!!

I've kicked 'em I'm happy to say! Haven't seen them since I got the 900nc, it was worth the cost of the camera just to nip those rotters in the bud!

davidpretorius · #29 12-06-2006, 11:11 PM

first one from tonight at 8:02

seeing was still not great as fans/peltiers had just been turned off, but i liking the ganymede detail.

what position is that white spot lester?

stringscope (Ian) · #30 12-06-2006, 11:23 PM

Nice image David. Yes it is amazing the level of detail you have captured on Ganymede

davidpretorius · #31 12-06-2006, 11:38 PM

8:06, seeing a bit better

davidpretorius · #32 12-06-2006, 11:45 PM

8:16 colour raw mode, not enough frames to choose from

Lester · #33 12-06-2006, 11:52 PM

Great shots there David,

The white spot is at 2 O'clock to junior.

They're looking good, Dave.

Here's a quick regi of one of the ones last night.

davidpretorius · #37 13-06-2006, 06:34 AM

awesome mike, i must ask how do you mask in photoshop for the moon processing

iceman (Mike) · #38 13-06-2006, 06:55 AM

No problems, happy to explain. It's really easy once you've done it once.

Dennis · #39 13-06-2006, 07:09 AM

Wow - those are excellent Jupiter images David & Mike. Stunning details and image scale with extraordinary detail on Ganymede. Well done!

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks D.

I've picked the best 3 out of the 10 avi's, although there was only 1 or 2 with obviously less quality. The rest were very good!

Now to do the lengthy process!
