Jupiter with 14" lx200

Hello Tim -

Beautiful image. On my monitor there is a pink cast overall but the detail and processing are very well recorded.

Hi Paul -

Very nice new images. Glad to hear your scope has returned to you safely. Here it is about half as warm and everyone wants to know when spring will arrive!

Hi Paul -

The first jupiter did come out very well indeed. It is amazing how quickly the seeing conditions can change.

A walk across the Mare Frigoris

Hi all -

Thanks for sending your comments. This was an unplanned mosiac - I was happy to find that these two images connected. I thought the two flat panels created an interesting illusion of a curved surface when stitched together.

Damian and Wes - good to see you back after your travels!

best,
Alan

Jupiter 05/25 Perfect Night.

Posted By Alan Friedman

Hello Chris -

The excellent conditions show in your very detailed image. To my eye the contrast is a little too severe resulting in a loss of information in the EZ. But it is an extraordinary image and I agree - one of your best.
Thanks for sharing it!

Jupiter with surgery's aftermath!

Hi Luca -

I think the processing in your new images is very natural - the color in the first is perfect - maybe use it as a model for balancing other images.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery -
