Jim -

That is an excellent image, full of detail with a very natural, "unprocessed" look.

That festoon is incredibly large and shows up well visually - you have done a good job at capturing it.

That's a fantastic image! I was observing Jupiter around the same time with a Starmaster 20". We had unusually good seeing and the blue festoon and several ovals were just like your image. Quite a sight!

Hi Jim,

Beautiful! image, I like those blue festoons.
The best visual view I have ever had of Jupiter was with an 18" Obsession I had about five years ago and I don't think I will ever forget the beautiful blue festoons that were showing that night.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins
