Default Probably my best Jupiter image so far
Well the seeing was great here tonight, it took a while to come on but it did at the right time.

Lots of detail visible and of course there are all the spots and if you don't notice it straight away you can see Io cruising in front of the NEB.

I have more data than this, but too tired now to do more processing. It has been a huge weekend for me and I have really be happy with all the good seeing. Praise goes to the weather gods again.

Wow Paul! What a great shot. And on the front page of Spaceweather.com to boot.

Guess I'll have to get up early one morning and have a go at it with my webcam.

I know the seeing here can be very good but are you sure you haven't your own little geosynchronous telescope up there? We would love to remote. Seriously the best ground based image of Jupiter I have seen at any aperature. Congratulations

Default Best Jupiter Image
Hi Paul,

Now I know why I do not image Jupiter anymore, my results just pale into insignificance and I would rather drool over your images.

Regards
Shevill

What's that bright spot on the right side of Jupiter's equator in the second image?
