Hi all,

Despite 100+ temperatures here in Phoenix, seeing can sometimes be tantalizing good. Here is a Jupiter shot in such a condition.

Hi Paul, well done. The GRS sure is prominent this year as your CCD image shows.
Jupiter is just to low up here to obtain a high resolution shot. Thanks for posting, Dan

Hi Paul -

You've captured excellent detail here! I usually have to worry about my laptop monitor freezing when I image the planets - this must be another experience altogether.

stay cool -
