Hi Dave -

Thanks for sharing your report.

We opened our public night season Saturday night at Beaver Meadow Observatory (Buffalo Astronomical Assn) and also enjoyed some brief clearing after a day of snow. We were able to share the red spot transit with a small group using our 20" dob. Although the seeing was poor the colors were rich in the big scope and once they found the SEB hollow, most were able to discern the GRS. The Aristarchus region was perfectly placed for observing Saturday night and the crater itself very detailed and shadowed - and incredibly bright!

clear skies,
Alan Friedman

Hi Wes -

Still, a very nice image. I had the reverse conditions here on April 8 - seeing was quite good but transparency was, well - opaque!

best,
Alan

Apple?

I think you will be able to get good planetary results with a webcam and software running on Mac OS. For deep sky imaging - especially camera control - it may be more difficult on a Mac. I would check the software needed to run the camera you intend to use. The Powerbook is a great laptop. It has been my only computer for the last 3 years.
