LAST QUARTER

Ron, amazing detail for just a single shot! That SV80mm scope is impressive. Have you tried any deep sky imaging with it?

Mike, great shot! That's an excellent scope. Very sharp details. You should be able to barlow up the image size

Bird, incredible image! Typically for Jupiter how many frames of each channel do you stack? Thanks!

Went back and stacked more frames, 1000 R,G & 600 B. There is less noise but not much more detail. Colors seem improved

Paul, congradulations on this capturing this rare event! What exposure times were you using and how long were your avis? Luckily there should be more of these occultations this season. Thanks for posting

Jupiter f30 7/10/09

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Never try to process images at 5am with no coffee. I reworked the same data and split off Europa separately, then combined back with photoshop. Colors are much better.

Jupiter this morning.... been a while!

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Ivan, excellent image! Congradulations on capturing the GRS + transit in good seeing, that's rare. Next time out try an eyepiece extension between the barlow & web cam, you should be able to image directly at f30 which could pull even more detail out. It's great to see images from you again. Thanks for posting it

Black impact mark on Jupiter

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Bird, congradulations on a once in a lifetime discovery! With the enormous amount of hours you spend imaging the gas giant, no one deserves the recognition more. You need to negotiate a book deal while the media is still hot on your heels...

Posted By Stephen Fugardi
Peter, excellent set of images! Impact site is very clear. You should try to put them together in a .gif movie showing the rotation. Thanks for posting them
