Jupiter, GRS and Io shadow

[russ]

Was gifted with 15mins of viewing pleasure last night, also manged to cram in two very quick AVI's. Sadly the clouds ruined the party just as i was hooking up the barlow for what i reckon would have one of my best Jupiter images ever. But now we'll never know

Despite the lack of any barlow, just the Toucam straight into the Eclipse, i'm pretty chuffed with the result. A mere 200 frame AVI as well. The Mak is showing some serious promise.

So here's it is.....rather small, lacking frames (only 119 used to stack) and a tad bright.

Yep i know it looks bleddy dreadful compared to Nick's images he just posted. But all things considered it's promising for the Eclipse. :sunny:

Nicely done Russ. It's not easy to catch these shadow transits.

What aperture is the Eclipse?

What aperture is the Eclipse?

It's the Mak 6. Direct competitor to the Skymax 150. 152mm f12.5 and it seems pretty good. Hopefully i may get another shot tonight :?

Looking great for the Eclipse matey!!

Certainly is and looking good for tonight, how are you fixed?
