FANTASTIC IMAGE WES!!!

I really love the sun angle and the shadows projected. Needless to say, the processing is impeccable. In one word: sweet grin

Grazie Wes. Bravissimo. 8)

And it sure is a great image Paul.

Could we have some details on how many frames you hand-picked (!!!!!!!!! I've never been able to do it: after a few minutes they seem either all good or all bad and then I fall asleep wink )

Thanks Paul.

Hello Paul,

very nice animation: one day I gotta get me one of those grin

Sorry to hear about your secondary trouble Paul sad . I hope Celestron will send it back better than new and fast, so you can come back in no time to post images here for our pleasure (and yours, I'm sure).

Ciao and thanks once more for posting your images.

Luca

PS Love your dog man!

8) 8) 8) 8) Need lots of sunglasses for this one!! SWEET.

The dark region is really pulsating like a small heart. Actually, a huge heart.

Well, as soon as I recover from the latest purchasing campaign (TEC 250 f/12: alas, still awaiting delivery sometime before the end of june) I must get me one of those (extremely expensive sad ) Coronado toys grin

Thank you very much for this contribution Alan.

Very nice Christopher! Although my taste is for softer processing, your images are very beautiful and extremely detailed, especially considering that they are taken with an 8" scope 8O 8O .


Keep them coming, please!

Hello guys and experienced Jupiterians, grin

is the bright white spot near the GRS in Alan's image the same that was strikingly visible in a recent trichromy posted by Paolo a few days ago (message no. 325107)?

If so, it has really moved quite a bit but maintained shape, size and brightness despite of the fact that it's moving through an ever more turbulent area.

Supposing all I wrote above is true, is it commom for a phenomenon of that kind to be so long-lasting? Paolo's image is from Apr. 30th, so it would have wandered about the planet's surface for 5 days!

Ciao
