Jupiter 23rd January

[Montana]

I stayed up really late on Friday night / Saturday morning to see the Great Red spot. This is my second attempt at imaging Jupiter and I was really pleased and excited with the results however I have just seen what other people have posted here so please do not laugh at my attempt

I am glad to say my new camera I got for Christmas works great thanks to the advice of folks here

Seeing was terrible so this was the best of the bunch

Very nice results Alexandra, you've captured some good detail. It's always nice to get the GRS and you captured a moon too!

Don't worry, my attempts are much Much worse than yours

Congrats.

[Pete Presland]

A great set of images.  Some really good detail captured on the disc,  Jupiter always looks better with the GRS in view.

Great work Alexandra and only your second outing? Amazing!

Cool animation! Not trying to hijack your thread but I imaged Jupiter on its very next rotation at 1056 UT, the moon (Ganymede?) comming in at the bottom of your animation had passed behind the planet and was just ouside the frame.

Thanks everyone, it was fun but very cold

I love the image mwayne, much better fine detail than me  I love how the moons zip about
