Back in the Saddle

[Nick Smith]

Hi Guys

Been a while since I have been imaging Jupiter, or posted anything on here.  This was taken around midnight on 31 January.  The seeing was fair.  Let me know what you think (do not hold back, I really want honest criticism!).  I have some more data from the 4th to go through, so hopefully will have something better there.

Cheers

Nick

That is superb. What scope do you use?

[Nick Smith]

_{Thanks Michael.  It is a C14, ASI 120 camera. Conditions have been poor of late.  Raining here at the moment.}

Hi Nick, good to see you posting images.

From what I think I can tell by just looking, I think you have got most of the fine detail out that's in the data

look forward to seeing your images from the 4th

I dont think you are going to get much criticism, honestly its a cracking image!

Great image Nick and gently processed.  Look forward to more from the big SCT.

Super image Nick! If I was being critical I'd say the limbs are a little dark but that might just be my monitor.

Very nice Nick, plenty of detail. As Stuart says limbs showing quite dark blue and if you want super critical (you said don't hold back) there is a slight magenta ring around the right limb. Super shot though.

Great image Nick. Is it L-R mirrored though? Here's mine from a month earlier when I had my best seeing of the current apparition. Look at the 'hook' around the GRS. http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/jupiter/2014/2014-12-30-0343_3-RGB_900-v2.jpg

Thanks very much for the constructive feedback guys.  Don't know if this is any better?  Suppose we are looking at small changes here...

[David_Pickles]

I like the second better, but both are great images Nick!

[Nick Smith]

Thanks David

I have had a look at the videos from the 4th.  Conditions were okay, similar to before.  This was taken just after midnight on 4th; the moon is Europa.

Cheers
