Jupiter last night

Hi all,

I did some imaging last night of Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon. I was going to post some lunar images first, but after Mike Wirths' fine images I decided to show one of the Jupiter images instead. Mike's a tough act to follow.

Meade LX90 8" SCT @ f/35
Phillips ToUcam Pro 840
Baader UV-IR cut filter
Seeing 5/10
Transparency 2-3/5
Frames= 516/602 @ 5fps
Image taken at 4:44 UT

Thanks,

Ed Roach

Nice shot. I will say I do not look at this forum as a contest. I just enjoy the images.

Hey Ed,

Thats a FINE Jupiter! Great colour and detail!
My seeing went pretty bad after about 9:00 pm I did'nt even bother waiting for Jupiter to get to its woefully low altitude..

thanks

Mike

Hi Ed,

Beautiful Jupiter, I really like the subtle changes of color, good processing and not overly contrasted.

Thanks,

Thanks, everyone for all your comments. I was very happy with this image and the night as a whole. I have a couple of more images to come from that fun evening of imaging.

Thanks again,

Ed Roach

Ed,

I like it!

Excellent detail can be seen across the planet while maintaining while maintaining a very pleasant “thru the eyepiece” look. Way too many folks push processing with the hopes of getting more detail at the expense of grainy and artificial looking images. Personally, I've never been a big fan of over-processed images, especially from folks like us who image for pure aesthetics reasons.

Keep up the good work.
