Re: Jupiter Saturn convergence

Cloudy here till wednesday but i did manage to view them with my old Wild T1a survey transit on a clear Thursday night. Some atmospheric waves most likely from the -11C temps but every now and then they stopped for a second and i could make out Saturn's rings, Jupiter was just a big glowing ball no

I saw them quite far apart last week but it has been heavily overcast ever since. I really hope some of you guys get some good shots showing plenty of detail. Alan C On 20-Dec-20 04:03 PM, David J Brooks wrote: Cloudy here till wednesday but i did manage to view them with my old Wild T1a surv

Wow, that is quite a shot! Are those 3 of Jupiter's moons? Excellent work. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sun, Dec 20, 2020 at 12:19 PM Toine wrote: > This is what I got: > https://www.repiuk.nl/albums/new/#&gid=1&pid=006-007-

Re: Jupiter Saturn convergence

Yes those are 3 of it moons. no 4 is hiding in front or in the back of Jupiter. The naked eye view is more impressive (if you know what you see). On Sun, 20 Dec 2020 at 18:24, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > Wow, that is quite a shot! > Are those 3 of Jupiter's moons? Excellent work. > > Dan Matyol

PESO recycle bin or keeper?

I forgot to select a shorter shutter speed. On closer inspection the head of one of the birds is in focus. I kinda like it because of the yellow acrobat in action. https://www.repiuk.nl/albums/new/#&gid=1&pid=006-010-img4261 What I was hoping for was a flock of birds in action, they jumped all ov

With just a bit of luck, this could have been a spectacular image. As it is, it is interesting and a bit amusing, with the yellow guy showing us his belly. I would keep it for what it is. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sun, Dec

PESO: Jupiter/Saturn Convergence.

A minor miracle here - the clouds opened! This is my effort. Also 3 moons visible. Shot at 170mm. The 500mm shots were "elongated". Will try again with the Astrotracer tomorrow, clouds willing. Jupiter/Saturn convergence. 3 moons visible. | Flickr

Re: PESO recycle bin or keeper?

Toine - in an album filled with your wonderful work , this one diminishes the collection.. I'm afraid I'll say "bye bye birdie" On a serious note, with everything out of focus or with all motion blur is hard on the eyes.. keep it for yourself for the memory of what  you saw, but I wouldn't leav

Larry, your friend did very well, but it is high tech stuff with a telescope. Toine's effort is perhaps the best possible with normal photographic equipment. It will be interesting to see what Paul can conjure up if the conditions are favourable. Alan C On 21-Dec-20 12:36 AM, Larry Colen wrot
