    The view last night from Oxfordshire at about 23.20.

    Well reported - a lovely pair! Chris

    Superb image!

    Does anyone know any more about this device, featured in the Astrgear section of AN this month? I can't find any info anywhere about accuracy etc, and presumably it isn't stocked by any UK supplier yet? Chris

    Yet another cloudy night....!🤬

    Yes, slightly blue here cpd with my monitor. Chris

    Very nice. I couldn't get as much colour out of my images that evening - well done! Chris

    The Io and shadow transit of 6/11/2023 with Ganymede to the right (W). On the original, the bright patch to the top left of Ganymede is clearly visible and matches the spot shown using the SkySafari simulation. Io is just to the right and below its shadow. The GRS is just going out of view, bottom right. Chris

    Nice! Chris

    Very nice detail and colour rendition. Chris

    Rather poor astronomy weather recently so any clear spell is appreciated. The seeing was a bit below average, although it came and went as waves of something or other passed over. I imaged the transit until hypothermia took over - this is just after the start of the shadow moving onto the disk. Chris

    Nice image, much as I saw it. I tried to image Uranus as well as J but the seeing was ppoor. Chris

    Superb!

    I followed last night's rather nice transit through, although Jupiter was low in the sky while the transit occurred, with consequent poorish seeing. 180 Mak, ADC and ASI120MC, 4000 frames from 12000. Chris

    Very nice image!

    Nice, Enke just showing. Chris

    Very nice images! Chris

    TVM Reggie. Unfortunately though, 2xAperture = 2xResolution, 4xLight flux and 0.5xNoise. Chris

    TVM for the comments. I am just too aware that I really need a C14 for imaging planets, although at my age and stage, I probably couldn't afford or lift one! Chris

    The hot weather has produced some decent seeing, with glorious views at the eyepiece, and a sharper image stack with the camera. For me this year, last night was the first time that Enke has been clearly defined. 6000 out of 30,000 frames. Chris

    Another one for watching the changing ring tit - 2021. Chris
  23. chiltonstar
    Fingers crossed for some better weather!
  24. chiltonstar
    Nice! Quite a challenge at the mo with few clear nights, and ppoor seeing. Chris
  25. chiltonstar
    Thank you for your kind comments. If only the UK weather would improve and give us a run of warm evenings with excellent plus seeing while Saturn andJupiter are still at their best! This year must be one of the worst I can remember in more than 50 years observing. Chris
