Jupiter & Europa 29-6-18

The best seeing for Jupiter last night was early on while almost still light, some good trans coming through but quickly deteriorated as it gained alt!

I stayed around for Saturn but seeing was pants with cloud also a problem too, but have included my one & only rgb run!

images taken with the meade 305 - skyris 236 m at f15! Thanks for looking!

Nice images. Well done!  I was out imaging Mars as my main target last night, so never looked at Saturn or Jupiter as that would have required a move to my back garden to view them, and Mars was initially only visible from my front garden. Some nice details on Jupiter. Will probably try for Jupiter and Saturn tonight after the footie!

Very nice images Simon.  I particularly like the plumes coming up from the NEB - I could see these (but not so good as your images) in my Mak-Newt.

Really good images of Jupiter Simon, with excellent detail and superbly processed. Good to get Saturn as well, but it’s a real challenge this year down in all the horizon muck, where the clouds seem to take for ever to shift. Cheers, Geof

Awesome images, great job on both planets! I love the amount of details, I can only dream of producing such good results (especially on Jupiter).

Cheers Geof, just getting Saturn on the chip is a chore for me as tree dodging is a real issue, without the murky seeing lol, it may be the first & last attempt on the ringed planet this apparition!

That Jupiter image is a cracker Simon, Without doubt IMHO thats the best so far from the big meade.  (This apperition anyway) your saturn is showing geat promise also but I do know you are severely restricted from your site.

I had some great seeing here in wales but your Jupiter images are right in every aspect of colour and processing lovely work ??

[si@nite]

Thanks again Martyn - stuy appreciated!

Cracking images, Simon! You got great detail and color on Jupiter (and a moon, too)! The Cassini Division is really prominent on Saturn. Great results, especially considering the conditions.

Cheers,

Brilliant images, super stuff !!!!

The Jupiter images are superb, a great capture. You must have had some good seeing to get such detail at low altitude.

Well done

Thanks Peter

The seeing & trans were good  for a short while but soon deteriorated as Jupiter gained altitude, lucky imaging, it can change in an instance as we all know!
