Re: [Utah-astronomy] My best planetary image yet. Jupiter 8.10.11
Congrats, David. That's an amazing result for a 39 north observing point and up in Damian Peach's league, considering your latitude - Kurt

Noted pioneering digital planetary imager Dr. Donald Parker got fantastic images from his Florida location, through ocean haze and at essentially sea level. He felt that a steady atmosphere would counter any other obstacles, such as altitude, latitude, haze, and the occassional turbulence...with patience. Even the most noted imagers only show their good stuff. Damian Peach has hundreds of thousands of crap images, have no doubt.
David, Excellent. Your image capture of the North Temperate Belt with the swirls in the Northern Equatorial Belt is nicely captured. I like the contrast in the Equatorial Zone and the view of the Southern Equatorial Belt. The capture of the fine details is what I really like here.

Thanks for all the feedback on the image. I am not sure I would say it is peach qualtiy. I am using the same camera but a C14 in good seeing is a lot better than a 10" ota. I hope to get an 11" Schmidt for this stuff at some point. Cheers David On 8/10/2011 6:33 PM, Chuck Hards wrote:
