Great image Charlie!

What time did you shoot that? I was out last night and it looks a lot like what I saw at about 2AM EST. What cam did you use?

I was going to shoot my first images of Jup for the season with the c11 I got last nov but the seeing didn't look all that great, and I had stayed up observing rather than getting up, so I was a bit fatigued by 3AM.

Great job,
Kevin

Superb detail!! Very sharp. Which camera?

Curious -- how did you ventilate the C14? Holes and fans in the
rear casting? Post a pic of it?

Charles, Its about time you did some planetary imaging! This is a fine image for your first in a while!
