Hello Guys,

Seeing was just phenomenal this morning. This is probably my best image of Jupiter. Note the GRS is resolved to it's core!

Superb! Would be nice to see lower brightness version also,
even if we lose a little detail in GRS. I would be happy
to get your "average" seeing now and then!

Hello Chris,

I agree with Paolo and John that, besides some processing issues (too bright and too grainy) this is one of the best Jupiter images in a while. I believe that with seeing conditions such as the one you enjoy there in the Philippines, you should not push processing so much and that would save a lot of faint detail that gets washed out.
Do you resample all your images? Because they seem awfully big for your imaging set up. If that is the case would you mind posting this image without resampling it?
Thanks for sharing with us your work: it helps forgetting seeing conditions around here :C

Chris, this has to be the largest and sharpest Jupiter I have ever seen! You must be double stacking barlows to get that huge size, f100? Looks like you are taking full advantage of that perfect seeing. The video image of that massive gas giant must take up your entire laptop screen! Your shot is just incredible.
