oldfruit Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 A lot of high hazy cloud tonight but took the scope out anyway. I was watching this visually tonight and it looked great. Managed to see Io as it started to cross the disc if Jupiter through the dob. Then later on the shadow, a lovely inky black dot crossing the disc. Anyway, 8 inch Helios newt, spc90, 3x televue barlow, approx 1000 frames stacked and wavelets done in registax 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Fantastic shots mark, love that you have caught the GRS. I watched the transit and then decided to image it also with the webcam. i did not see the GRS transit though-what time did that occur? Wish I had stayed out a bit longer now! But as you say lots of hazy clud around. I did a couple of jupiter avis and a couple of moon ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman161 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hey Mark, just looked at my images and have caught the GRS too but is harder to make out as using a 2 x powermate and my images not as good as yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
