Jupiter and Io, 6th September 2021

[chiltonstar]

Jupiter last light with a little scope (180 Mak). Average seeing with some better spots. Image stacked in AS, then PS and derotated. Bloody tawny owl kept on making low passes and hooting.

A very nice contrasty image Chris with loads of details showing. Also Remember He who Hoots with owls by night should not soar with eagles by day😀

You got the large collection of white ovals there. Showing lots of detail. Attacked by a owl. Takes the sacrifices we make to a whole new level

Stacks of detail well captured!

Nice detailed image.

Many years ago I had an owl land on the balcony rail as I was down below observing through my dob.  Quite an unnerving experience!

Nicely captured, good to see the Mak180 planet killer" still deliver some fine images.

...it would do a lot better if we had more nights with fine seeing! This is the entire 20 sequence above (I selected 6 for derotation) as an animated .gif. You can certainly see the minute by minute variation in seeing!
