Jupiter 04/04 from Bembridge

[SnakeyJ]

Nice conditions tonight and may just hold for a bash at Mars in a few minutes.     Here are two quick RGB captures, the first at F17 and the second at F18 - both drizzled 1.5 and then upscaled 150% in Gimp:

3400mm f/l vs 3800mm f/l:

  

Quite happy with these for late in the season, though suspect I missed the best of the seeing/transparancy slightly earlier.

looking very good, even the upscaled image has held up well. i did Jupiter earlier and it wasnt too bad, Mars is a bit "wobbly" at the moment we will see how it goes!

They look excellent considering how late it is in the season for Jupiter.

Thanks Pete and James, great support - look forward to your own images later. Hope you both got some good data.

I've not seen a hint of clear sky in ages.  Not much hope in the current forecast, either

managed a bonus 3 hours last night before the clouds rolled in, at least it gives me some more data.

JamesSorry you had no joy last night James, a shame as you really seem to have got that C925 to perform looking at your last Jupiter images.    Hope to see some good Mars images from this direction over the next week!   Perhaps another gap coming through on Mon/Tue night, though will wait and see how the forecast develops over the next couple of days.

Look forward to the results Pete - I ended up dumping 125GB of data last night as my 500GB hard drive was running out of space.    I usually PIPP this and archive anything reasonable, but had forgotten to sort through in advance.     Nothing great lost - I hope

Thanks Mike - I'll take a fresh look at the data tonight, but nice to end a generally poor season on something of a high note.

Cracking imaes Jake!

Superb images. I get the feeling you didn't expect much form Jupiter but I really like these. Hopefully you get mars soon enough. Well done.
