Seeing conditions were horrible!! (4-5/10) ... In fact The moments when Jupiter was in transit, it was too low and the seeing was as described above...simply horrible!!(I had to discard the rest of AVIs... :-( Anyway here I'm posting the two "less worse" pics... Any comment will be welcome! First pic: Jupiter and Europa... Regards, David Post Extras:       David Rivas Carpal Tunnel Reged: 05/29/04 Posts: 2004 Loc: Lima, Peru Re: Jupiter post transits...

Ganymede's shadow can barely be seen, the rest of the pics (when it was in plain transit)are garbage! I hope the seeing improves to get better results! Thanks for taking a glance!!

If only we could have an 8/10 seeing and transparency night with no wind. You caught an interesting development just to the lower right of GRS though. Am I looking at a second Red Jr. developing? Its hard to tell if there's a cyclonic action starting to happen there. Mike's image doesn't show a vortex, but who knows for sure until we see a new capture.

The first image holds quite a lot of details though! One thing I might suggest is to scale the image down a bit. Should get it more sharper. Hope you don't mind, but I reprocessed the first shot a bit. Here's what it looks after a small unsharp mask + some color balance(don't know if I made anything better, but looks more natural on my monitor) + resizing Clear skies mate!! -------------------- Post Extras:       gazerjim Postmaster Reged: 02/12/04 Posts: 7725 Loc: About where I thought I was......

You really nailed some interesting activity in and around the GRS. Jim -------------------- Jim Fisher If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. Henry J.
