Jupiter 8-9-05-2017

[U Cyg]

Not the best conditions on the 8th, but much better on the 9th.  I think this (9th) was the first time that I had seen one of the moons

show so cleanly as a disk on the preview, but it didn't last, seeing went downhill after about 30 minutes.

Really great images from that C8. I don't think I've ever seen albedo features on Ganymede captured with an 8" scope 

[cuivenion]

Wow amazing shots. Does the ADC make a big difference?

[Craney]

OMG   !!  (as the kids say)... with an 8 "  sct   ... what am I doing wrong ??

 

[si@nite]

Beautys, you always give us quality images Angie well done!

[Barv]

Fantastic work again Angie with the little C8. Was that taken from your balcony or have you got something more permanent now?

Did you get out there on the 10th too? The 10th was good here, not processed the data fully yet though

Excellent images with lots of detail even on Ganymede. Nice natural processing and colours.

Best regards

Many thanks to all for taking the time to look and comment on my images.

Harvey, yes I am still imaging from the balcony, no plans for anything more permanent.  It's not ideal, very small at about 3ft 6in x 6ft, but I can get the scope out there, and I have the laptop just inside the door.  The upside is that I don't have to go too far to get to bed at the end of the session!!

Fabulous set of images, plenty of detail visible there. 

[Tony G]

[morimarty]

Thanks again for all your comments and 'likes', much appreciated.

...a very good set of images - looks like a few of you UK imagers have had pretty decent seeing, especially when Jove's elevation is taken into account!

[Jeff-Colorado]

Wonderful, Angie! I am very impressed. Wonderful detail in the cloud belts and Ganymede.

I basically have the same equipment (8SE / 224MC). I've gotten some decent images but not as good as yours. You have inspired me to aim higher! 

[U Cyg]

Thank you Darryl and Jeff.

Great images.  I've got a Jupiter from 20:55(UT) on the 9th that I went back to reprocess to try to make it look better after seeing yours! 

[Virgoman]

What a beautiful set of images Angie.  Really nice captures of Jupiter all round - love the Ganymede peeking images in the bottom two shots!! Lovely albedo detail on your four Ganymede poses as well - and with the GRS positioned beautifully on the limb and even Oval BA thrown in for good measure!! You had a great couple of nights Angie and I think your seeing was the opposite of mine which was reasonable on the 8th and rather more hopeless on the 9th! A pleasure to view.
