Saturn May 27, 2008

Hi all,

I'm about to finish Saturn for this session, probably only get 1 or 2 more images before it sinks behind my house in the West. This image was shot on May 27 in good conditions.

Another June 12 Jupiter.

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

June 12 seemed to be a popular morning for imaging Jupiter. Here is my effort. The good news is that Jupiter was at it's maximum altitude from my house for the shoot (35 degrees), but is was fairly breezy during the shoot, degrading the image quality. Still, with the new techniques I've learned, I'm pretty happy.

Jupiter in RGB and IrRGB May 31, 2008

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

I tried an experiment and used an IR image of Jupiter for my Lum layer on an LRGB image and got quite an interesting result. Seeing was decent for the elevation.

Jupiter June 7, 2008

Posted By Paul Maxson

Hi all,

Jupiter sure is a challenge this year, but considering the seeing and altitude, not too bad on this image.

Methane filter

Posted By Paul Maxson

Does anyone know who sells methane filters? I'm looking for one to add to my planetary filter collection.

Thanks!
