Jupiter, GRS & Europa 20111010 at23h49mUT


On the same evening seeing can trick you for sure... after just 5 minutes, seeing was much better than on the previous RGB sequence run (20111010-23h45mUT).

Captured with Lucam Recorder.

Jupiter, GRS & Calisto 20111006 at 00h30mUT


I just cannot believe how good the seeing has been the past days.
As such, I have been taking advantage of it, though some high clouds are rolling in at night, along with some haze. But hey, I am not complaining at all.

I decided it was time to give my C11 a go and I did take the borrowed C14 away. I set the C11 up and shot Jupiter for a while.
Seeing was much better than the previous sessions but nevertheless my C11 outperforms the C14...

Autostakkert and CS4. Processed on the fly, right after capture, meaning it can be improved, I guess.
My best so far.

Jupiter 20110919


First Jupiter of the 2011/12 season.
Seeing was fair/normal but much better than it has been this year. The weather has been so unbelievably poor this year that I have been hitting the sack really early...
