A few nights ago I did a sketch using my C-8 and last night I did one using my Nexstar 11. Last night I was just planning to observe, but the detail was so abundant that I felt compelled to pull out the pencil and paper again. -------------------- Pernel Edited by Catapoman (09/03/08 12:01 PM) Post Extras:       tigerroach sage Reged: 08/13/08 Posts: 315 Loc: Houston, TX Re: Two Jupiter Observations – 20080901 UT and 2008090 [Re: Catapoman]       #2621151 - 09/03/08 11:10 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice work. -------------------- Brian TeleVue TV-102, Gibralter alt-az mount Webster 14.5" f/4.3 truss dob *under construction* Canon 10x30 IS binocs Post Extras:       Catapoman professor emeritus Reged: 06/06/03 Posts: 685 Loc: VA Re: Two Jupiter Observations – 20080901 UT and 2008090 [Re: tigerroach]       #2621276 - 09/03/08 12:02 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks, Brian! -------------------- Pernel Post Extras:       dfell sage Reged: 06/25/05 Posts: 357 Loc: Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Canada Re: Two Jupiter Observations – 20080901 UT and 200 [Re: Catapoman]       #2621568 - 09/03/08 02:25 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nicely rendered. -------------------- www.spacealberta.com 12" collapsible Dob TV102 Ethos 13mm original TV smoothside plossls 80mm f/15 Towa Refractor abbe orthoscopics both .965 and 1.25 assorted 60mm scopes and parts PST Post Extras:       Mike Conley sage Reged: 09/23/07 Posts: 284 Loc: NW Ohio Re: Two Jupiter Observations – 20080901 UT and 200 [Re: dfell]       #2622019 - 09/03/08 06:02 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Very nice.

Mike - Those BO/TMB planetaries do quite well in the SCT. It rare that I get sharp enough views at that mag due to seeing. Tommy5 - Regarding the dark condensation, I was surprise to see it. Based on the past, I can only guess the GRS will win that battle. -------------------- Pernel Post Extras:       HellsKitchen member Reged: 09/05/08 Posts: 95 Loc: Australia Re: Two Jupiter Observations – 20080901 UT and 200 [Re: Catapoman]       #2630382 - 09/08/08 08:52 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice sketches! -------------------- S 38º 00' E 145º20' Custom 12" F/4.6 dob 10" GSO dob 4.5" Meade Newtonian Set of Vixen LVWs + TV barlows + powermates Astronomik 0III, UHC, H-beta filters Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 1 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
