Jupiter and Saturn over the weekend.

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Paul -

Your saturn image from the 28th is fantastic - very sharp and detailed.
Is this scaled down in size from the original file?

Jupiter 03/28/05 (new camera)

Posted By Alan Friedman

Wes - I see the beginnings of a beautiful friendship between you and your new camera!

I believe my new DMK21BF04 supports 60fps too - but not sure if there will be enough light with my 10".

A great first result -

Jupiter 03/30 Perfect Night

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hi Chris -

Gorgeous and not at all boring.

Everytime I visit your website I am reminded what a challenge it must be to use a german equatorial close to the equator!

Beautiful image! Is it ejecta that creates that ghostly glow around the small crater near the center of the field?

Dance of the Moons

Posted By Alan Friedman

Roland -

Wonderful capture!

I have added some reference to identify the moons. The innermost faint moon is Mimas - showing as mag 12.81 in Starry Night Pro for March 28th. Sorry to put the field star in orbit - it looked positioned to be another moon candidate before I looked it up.

cheers -
