saturn this morning, 10th feb

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

Seeing was steady this morning, but the image still looked a bit blurry - maybe there was some high altitude jetstream activity.

The only interesting part of this image is the polar region at the bottom of this image (green) that's just becoming visible.

This image was made from three separate runs of 400 seconds each in R,G and B. R and G were at 15fps, B at 12fps. Image has been reduced from native size by 25%.

regards, Bird

Still nice to get out amongst it, Anthony. nice image.

Did it stay clear for Jupiter?

Another very nice image Bird

Your new observatory must be making imaging a lot more comforable.

[davidpretorius]

yes, you would be right re the polar region, it would have been hidden for a while.

nice image bird
