This particular shot was taken just as the planet's giant moon Ganymede was exiting from Jupiter's disk. http://www.digitalsky.org.uk/jupiter...9-45_RGB15.jpg This is awesome. I am a beginner in these things. Can you please explain or provide a ref. to what a C-14 is? Is that a lense that you attach to a digital camera or a telescope? A C-14 is a model of telescope made by Celestron. Jim -- Twitter:@GreyAreaUK Facetime "If you have enough book space, I don't want to talk to you." Terry Pratchett |

Actually I have been going to a series of public astronomy talks and observations in Cambridge which are pretty awesome I have a feeling that they also have a C14 since they keep referring to it as the 14inch. In tonights observation I will take a closer look to the telescope if I can. -- PMatos |

No wonder, I guess you need a powerful telescope to take a photo like that. It also helps that Pete is very, very good at this :-) There are some pretty impressive shots by others using more modest 8" Meade and Celestron SCTs that are still very very good. Petes images are exceptional, but the advent of cheap webcams to snatch moments of good seeing and shift and add software to isolate the lucky images (ie ones where the image was truly in focus but shifted around a bit) has revolutionised planetary photography. One side effect is that we now know that Jupiter gets whacked by pieces of comet rather more often than we once believed SL9 to be unique. This guy was also using 14.5" aperture... http://jupiter.samba.org/jupiter-impact.html http://meteoriteblog.com/tag/jupiter-asteroid-impact/ Fitting that it was seen almost on the 15th anniversary of SL9.

Quite awesome structure actually but for such a big thing I was not too impressed with the image. They do have another one close by on a small wooden house which was pointing to the moons surface last week. That was impressive! But then again the moon is closer than a globular cluster. heheh -- PMatos |

Sorry for tracking you down online but what kind of telescope do you have here? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mark.ay...s/BENQ1022.JPG -- PMatos |
