Jupiter, 25th August

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

A strong high pressure system has cleared the skies for the first time in weeks, so here's another Jupiter image from two nights ago...

Seeing was ok, maybe 7/10. Jupiter is slowly getting harder to reach.

scope: http://www.acquerra.com.au/astro/lexx.html

60 seconds in each channel of R,G,B @ 40fps

regards, Bird

As always Anthony, very nice image with lots of impressive detail there, well done!

Wonderful image Anthony. I stepped back about 2 metres from my pc and the image scale was fantastic. Great detail too

Thanks guys. Robin, the pains involved in digital format images, everyone sees them differently due to screen resolution etc...

cheers, Bird

On my monitor mate, its about 8" across...sensational

Beautiful image Anthony! I've seen the clear skies the last few days but haven't done any imaging.. thanks for showing me what Jupiter looks like.

She's definitely shrinking!

Wow Anthony – thanks for reminding me how good Jupiter looks, and how on top of your game you are! Another fantastic image from the Bird stable.

Cheers

Wow Bird,

What a magnificent Joop, incredible detail made even more incredible by the fact that the disc is well off max.

It's enough to make me drag my gear out the cupboard again!

cheers,

Rob
