Jupiter 27th Feb

Hi,

I had a 2 hour session on Jupiter, catching the Europa transit with a C11 and 2x barlow and finishing off with a 3x barlow.

Nice session you had there Robin. Produced some great images.

My favourite is the second image. Well done.

Very nice Robin, looks like you have that C11 pretty much sorted now :-)

As above good captures Robin. Pleased to see that the C11 is coming together.

They are getting much better Robin, I think you should smoke half of a cigar!

Lovely images with great detail!

Thanks guys.  Definately getting there with a fair bit of help from you. 

I had another go last night, went out about 8pm for 30 minutes and got another alignment point.  Jupiter was behind thin cloud, but looked really stable and the detail was there too, so decided to get a capture.  Just pressed the go button and it went behind thicker cloud, so gave up after 30 minutes.

I had another go at 9:30 pm but it was even worse , gave up again after 15 minutes and then finally just before midnight got two runs, the best of which is below.  It was still behind cloud/haze so I was pleased to pull out this level of detail.

I had left the scope fan and extractor fan running the whole time, just parked the scope and closed the obs so it was ready just in case.

All lovely. Need to get out there myself and start planetary imaging more - coming into a good planetary imaging tile at the moment with Saturn and Mars around too...
