Jupiter crossing the meridian. The treetops, power lines and thick blanket of atmosphere at 25 degrees make for a very challenging capture, although this attempt came out better than the last.

A-P 10" mak @f32 and DMK21BF04 monochrome camera. L(R+G)RGB using approximately 200/850 frames from each filtered stream.

best wishes,
Alan

Hello Alan,

amazing what you've been bale to do at such low elevation 8O .

I can't wait ot see what you'll do when the planets gets back at a proper elevation.

Congratulations for the great image Alan and thanks for showing it.

Alan, Absolutely incredible image at that altitude! Cloud details around the equator are amazingly sharp. Thanks for posting. That shot will be hard to beat this season.

Regards,

Hi Allan,

That is a superb image!

What CFW do you use? I'm thinking its about time to upgrade from a web cam and deciding which outfit to purchase.

The DMK camera speaks for itself.

I have been looking at the new 'Voyager' camera but cant find anyone that has experience with it.

Best,

Paul

Wow Alan, great details! Gives me inspiration to give it a try as well, although I think I have too much aperture for this low altitude :S

congrats!
