Jupiter & Io, just before the transit

[Barv]

I've been going through my data for the night of the 6th, and as I thought, from my location the conditions were slightly better just before the transit.

Here is the result of 4 RGB runs with de-rotation. I have deliberately not pushed the processing too far, in order to keep things as natural as possible.

Hope you like it

Best Wishes

Excellent image Harvey. You have pulled some nice details and I like the colour balance. GRS is also showing some structure too.

Excellent image 👍. That's one large Maksutov you have there. Great details.

Many thanks Geof. (P.S. - If you know anyone that wants a C14, I have an Edge HD that I am considering selling, - I've had it from new). 

Cheers

I have got some extra mugs at home for sure, been a difficult year to be honest. I have been suffering from sleep related (i think) Migraine Aura, o Astronomy has had to change a little to fit around work and getting enough sleep. Not had one now since late August, glad of the dark evenings for Astronomy at a managable time 🙂
