Jupiter Sketch

Seanie,
Don't let me on my own here! C'mon, post a few! I'd be interested to see them.

Michael

How much are they worth to you Micahel?



Seanie.

My hats off to you. I cant even draw a line. It's interesting to compare your sketch to my image of the same event!

Dave,
I was very intrested to see your our picture and spent quite a while comparing it to my sketch. Dave' picture
It is always interesting to see if what you thought you see reflects the reality. I had never noticed a streak off southern edge of the GRS before and was slow to convince myself of what I saw. Then I saw it and the festoon on the NEB on your image taken a little later on the same night.

MJS,
Thats a great drawing, how long did it take you ?
I remember seeing Mars and Jupiter in your Dob a while back and I have to say that it was one of the best images I've ever seen on the planets, your drawing reflects that.

David,
I find that with Jupiter you have to work quickly. So I first do the positions of the main features and anything I notice on the main belts. Then I try to work accross each belt quickly to get the finer details. Finally I work twoards the poles. Usually it is better to stop after 10 minutes and start another.

MJS and All,
Not having the patence for sketching, I went ahead and got another pic of Jupiter on May 8th.
Note Io on the limb and the GRS on the lower left hand side of the globe.

I tried imaging Saturn that night also, but it was too near the horison, I wasnt able to get a decent picture.
This was a bit of a wake up call for me, I know the planets will be gone soon, but that time is nearly here !! :shock: , time is going by so quickly.
