Paul,
This is Thomas. I e-mailed you from spaceweather. I didn't know that you were rumples riot!
 
Thanks for the encouraging words. I should have known by the photo that this was you.
Again a breathtaking image.

A great Jupiter Paul. Nothing to add on all these comments. Very amazing image of Io.
I have to quote Mike S. about the right control of your equipment.
The seeing is important but a standardized method to acquire and a right protocol to process are the best mix to obtain top level planetary images.
Regards, Antonello

Thanks Mike,
Thanks all for the really nice comments.
Anthony I might do a bigger resample and ensure that it is at the 800 pixel size.
Tom, if you go to this site, http://www.damianpeach.com/barbados07.htm these were taken by Damian and if you follow Birds link (in his sig) you can see images he got last year which are better than mine still. There is always someone better to aspire to. Thanks so much anyway.

Mike the 12 bit refers to the bit depth of the image. My Skynyx can also be used in 12 bit. It gives a much better grey scale which of course means you can work with the data better.

Hey Paul, am I figuring this right? You captured the first image at 4:15am local time? This makes sense since that's when Jupiter is best placed from here.
How do you prepare for morning sessions like this one? Do you do an all-nighter or nap early and then set up?

Simply amazing. Looks more like an image a passing spacecraft would have taken. You can almost reach out and touch the planet. Fantastic.

Charlie, no that is not how I am doing things. I am imaging from about 200 am local and imaging through to 6 am. My first images were when the seeing was very unstable. I am doing all nighters though as sleeping and then getting up and even having gear prepared is not well organised. You cna make mistakes with collimation because your eyes are not awake and I find it better for myself to run like this. It means the following day is killed but I just turn the phone off and crash.
In terms of seeing, it ranges really, good seeing seems at present to start about 230 ish and goes for a few hours. As winter progresses here is becomes earlier an earlier.

for those interested I have posted a link to a thread on my site that has the whoel transit of Io. I can post it here because of the image sizes.
Hope you like it.

Image is excellent Paul, although I had a spot of trouble with the link here, had to cut and paste it to get the last part.

Fantastic sequence, Paul 
Being used to probably seeing a shadow on the disc - or just a hint of something else - this detailed 3D -presence is amazing to look at - no matter how many times you choose to look!
Be well!

Hello Paul!Your image is very impressive ! I started imaging Jupiter in 1990 ,back then we dreamed about future technology to come that would produce images such as yours  ! Congradulations !! Glenn Condie

Hi Paul:
Absolutely beautiful! It must have been exciting watching the capture screen, knowing that you were recording extremely sharp images. I hope you took a little time to relax and do some observing, that's still the most enjoyable part of this great hobby.
Take it easy, Dan
