just to break up all the Jupiter and Saturn this is a Neptune image from last year.

That's excellent, Mick! Nice resolution of the disc!

They'd be moons in that image, too?

Nice to see you back in the saddle Mick.

Have you had the same weather we have? Beautiful during the day and nothing but cloud at night.

[mick pinner]

late last week was great as John K's Jupiter shots have shown however back to pretty ordinary now. l haven't been using the LX lately, doing a bit of star hopping with the 12" dob.

The image appears to have a nucleus, just below the centre, displayed as a white spot when primarily the rest of the planet appears bluish, why is this happening in the image, is it part of the processing method?

[mick pinner]

there is no post processing.

[DobDobDob (Ron)]

Right so a single shot, pretty amazing, can you see the white spot I was referring to? It's probably just the way the monitor represents each pixel under magnification.

Nice capture Mick

Well done
