Excellent, I caught a glimpse of Jupiter as I climbed into bed at 10:00 this morning and wished that the South Downs didn't block the view to the South for me! Well done on capturing her/him!

That's a superb capture ! Hope you're gonna submit that to the Astronomy Now competition !!

Oops just noticed the size of your scope ! Sorry ! Great image , v. jealous !!!

Jealousy is a terrible thing but :D I havn't seen the King of planets for what seems like an eternity.

Excellent capture of the 'striped one'. You were lucky to get a clear sky - I still haven't been able to see Jupiter yet.

Well done.

Great image i have just aquired a c 9.25 but am still to use it in anger Cant wait to see Jupiter again.

[dweller25]

Thanks for all the kind comments, hopefully next time I will have more time to cool the scope down.

BTW - what causes onion rings in the processed images ???

Nice Image! From my garden the only way to see Jupiter is to put my 90mm mak on a tripod at the highest and most wobbly height, and then set it on bricks and look into it whilst balancing on a wall!

I envy your horizons I really do!

You did really well given the thickness of atmosphere you imaged through. well done.

Excellent Big J image! Wish I had the will power to stay up that late or get up that early.

I may be mistaken (I often am) but at increased dpi I'm sure I can see festoons in the banding. Which is nice.

Just to show what I mean here's an enlarged version of the image. The green has been reduced and the red/magenta increased on a lightened background. OK,so they look like strips of streaky bacon but I hope you can see what I can.

Oh,BTW 'onion rings' can be caused by too much gaussian blurring in Photoshop,don't know about other systems I'm afraid.

HTH.

Cheers

A very good image.

All the more impressive given the amount of atmosphere you have to look through.

Yeah I got a view of the big guy this morning as I was drunk and clambering into bed at 4.30 this morning. Always amazes me

Very nice capture there

Computer too near the cooker.

[barkis]

Yep, Big Jove looks good. You captured a great image of the big fellow D25.

And I agree, it's low declination makes it a lot difficult to image, but you've managed it OK.

CW and his magic wand have improved it for you too.

Onion rings I can cope with........... onion bhajis are a different matter! :pale:

Put on your shades I've updated the image.

Praise is most definitely due to both of you. Capture, under difficult conds. and CW, your processing skills.

Great image dweller25! and great extra processing CW!

[dweller25]

CW

Thanks very much for the extra processing - I have no idea how you do it but the results are superb.
