Yeah, not sure I could be bothered to fix that... the funny background can be explained by the time of capture - about 10 minutes before sunrise and the blue channel was getting very bright in the background...
All up it was another "near miss" this morning, there was no jetstream so the upper air was very still but this time clouds caused some low altitude convection so I still had less than perfect conditions...
But I can feel it getting closer - one of these morning will be the jackpot, probably some time this month, I can feel it in my bones :-)
Thanks Matt. Had another session this morning that may yield better images again, conditions seemed close to perfect at times. Of course it had to be the "boring" side of Jupiter, no significant features to see :-(
Another beautiful set of images, thanks for posting them. These are some of the most beautiful planetary images I have seen – quite extraordinary indeed.
The seeing was very steady, sadly this longitude doesn't have a lot of interesting detail, apart from that white spot on the NTB which is a remnant of several white storms that merged in the last few days.
Here's an image from earlier in this session showing Callisto. I'm very happy with this image as it's the first time I've got reliable surface detail on Callisto - it's albedo is very very low so it's always a dark image.
You never cease to amaze and inspire me with your incredible images. I know that producing these comes at a cost in terms of equipment design, set up, fine tuning, acquisition, post capture processing, practice, continuous improvement, lack of sleep, etc.
Your passion and intensity for hi-res imaging is quite something – thanks for sharing these talents.
