Decent seeing for here and quite a lot of detail. Still need better collimation.
Not as sharp as many others produce but still a lot of detail visible. A few dark spots/barges to the north, white ovals beneath the GRS and […]

First of the season. First of the season. Saturn still low and murky. Jupiter’s extra altitude makes it much easier this year.

Callisto and Ganymede shadow transits
Poor seeing so not much detail visible on Jupiter so concentrated on the shadow transits. Seeing comes in and out through the session. 13 frames in an animation. Satellite visible is Ganymede. Callisto is much further out and so the […]

Jupiter colour / infrared
Jupiter is so low that only half of the telescope could see over the lip of the dome, so effectively only a 125mm telescope – not 250mm! Surprised I got anything at all at this altitude.
Not much detail visible but […]

It’s amazing the difference good seeing and a clean corrector plate makes (Baader Wonder Fluid!). Again, low jetstream overhead. Definitely my best Jupiter so far.
