Jupiter August 5, 2008 (transit images)
      #2564865 - 08/06/08 08:11 PM

Hi all,

Here are images I shot on August 5, 2008. Seeing was very good and there was a lot to see on Jupiter. It was also the first time I ever shot Ganymede by itself and got detail. I have gotten detail when I imaged it close to the planet in the past, but since it showed such a solid disk I slewed the scope to it and shot my R,G,B images. It turned out pretty well I think.

Congratulations Paul. Its been a goal of my to get albedo features on Ganymede and I've yet to do it. Great shots.

Hi Paul, out of this world great (August, 5th) transit images, the best to hit the Internet so far, you lucky guy! Your helper SunShine must have had a hand (paw) in it. All kidding aside, congratulations! cheers, Dan

Hi Paul,

Great! images certainly among the best low altitude images for Jupiter this year with detail on Ganymede too, great work.

Thanks,
