Jupiter - digicam 2/19/2004

Hi all,

Last night was the first clear night since January! It was windy but I was able to get 3 sets of 100 images of Jupiter. This one is from the first set - haven't processed the rest yet. With all the wind seeing was unstable but it felt great to be out again. Image is the full frame.

Hi Jose,


Great Jupiter , anxious to see your other images when you get them processed .

I showed that Marvin Mars image to some local friends and
they all though it was hilarious .

Jose -

That is one of the best shots I have ever seen taken with a digital camera.

Excellent work, and a beautiful image. Thanks for posting.

Jose, that shot is terrific! When are you going to get a webcam? I would like to see what kind of shots you can get with the excellent seeing you have out there. Those C-11 are great planetary scopes!

Thank you all for your very encouraging comments.

Wes, my kids took Marvin to school and their science teachers were in stiches . I've looked at the other two sets of images and I think the local seeing started going downhill because the raws don't seem as sharp.

Ralph, I've been thinking about getting a webcam now that I have a new laptop. The only thing is that I also want and SBIG 2000! I ran into a situation last night where the webcam most definitely has an advantage. See my Jupiter from last night above.
