Damian Peach's recent Jupiter effort from Barbados

Jupiter was at 74degrees altitude

from what i can gather he was using C14 and PGR Flea

unbelievable Quality try not saying WOW

The only word is wow isn't it !

The fact that was take from earth is amazing.

[dweller25]

Wow

[Moonshane]

that's rubbish, he didn't even get the GRS

amazing and really shows the effects of steadier skies than we get here (slightly).

[moocher]

Its a fantastic image but I actually think Neils latest is better. Barbados is renouned for the seeing conditions, the uk isn't....I'll leave it there....

He owes me £15 cos I bought his video from SPA at Kelling and it put me to sleep *yaawwwwwnnn* - boring as it is his pics really are cracking good!

[barkis]

These Images are simply wonderful.

But I bet If Neil took his Europa to Barbados and Imaged Jupiter up at 74 degrees, then you wouldn't get a fag paper between them I'm sure.

I think the same goes for most of the top UK Planetary imagers, because let's face it, Ideal condition here are very few and far between.

I'm sorry to be predictable but, ... Wow!

Pete's coming pretty close now from Selsey that's for sure..

Mike Salway et al are also hitting it bang on from Oz...

Quite so Nick.

When I highlighted UK's inhospitable skies, I nearly quoted Selsey as an exception, but then perhaps Pete might have taken exception..

From what I have seen visually with the skywatcher dob, the seeing has been very good the past few weeks and not just Selsey

[Worzsel]

What's so special about Selsey skies ?

It's where SPM and Pete Lawrence live isn't it ?

[resonator77]

honestly, I prefer Pete and Neil' recent Jupiter images on SGL.

[beamish]

I'd be very interested to learn which capture s/w DP is using ?? Perhaps he's Beta testing the LuRecorder Heike is supposed to be working on for the PG Flea3 ??

Can't make my mind up whether I like those images yet- something appears "strange'

Couple of Oz links,

Image of the Week - IceInSpace

Jupiter in perfect seeing, August 30 - IceInSpace

350Gb of data recorded over 4 hours, at the bottom of page 4 'bird' describes reprocessing, Scope & camera listed on the first url (Flea3).

(J's dad)

[beamish]

350Gb !!! .....and I was concerned over 33Gb !!

[beamish]

I've just been over there and d/loaded a framegrab of his blue dat in Lo-res- AWESOME !!!

[Peter Drew]

There's no sustitute for elevation for starters. If you place Damian's unbelievable images on your laptop and tilt the screen gradually towards you, eventually you produce an image as you would expect to see from the UK on average, maybe this tilt in some way correllates to your location, ha ha.

Pstttt, don't tell anybody but............

Wes/Bird is really delivering

[frewi808]

wow !!! X 10

[Suffolkgazer]

As good as DP one is I must go with those in Neils camp on this one.

[Bodkin]

Oh my. It is truly incredible how far things have moved on in the last ten years. Amazing.

[NickH]

Neil's remarkable achievement is in getting this good in such a short period of time. Pete's also pretty close now from the UK to what I am seeing from Barbados.

What I would love to see is what someone like Neil with a pristine collimated 14-16" SCT/skynyx/Televue Powermated rig could do under those skies

Now they are using ICX618 or ICX445 based cams. Lumeneras and DMK/DBK/DFK are retreating
