The skies was partially cloudy tonight. I had a guest this evening. He is none other than Brian Davis, an amateur from Manila! Seeing was around 9/10 while transparency around 4/5.

I was able to "steal" an image of Jupiter between cloud breaks. I am still using my C8 while I fix the bugs of the C11.

Note the very rifted SEB. There are spots from the STB to the SPR! There is an interesting U shaped feature on the EB/NEB border associated with the big blue festoon! There is also a bright white spot on the NEB.and an interesting bright spot on the NNTB.

Very nice Christopher! Although my taste is for softer processing, your images are very beautiful and extremely detailed, especially considering that they are taken with an 8" scope 8O 8O .


Keep them coming, please!

Hi Chris -

I think this is one of your best images - tantalizing details to be seen the SEB!
