1st go at Jupiter

Is your 'dot' lower-right of centre? I personally doubt it would be an Io transit dot on such a small image.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it isn't anymore.

By the way, upon second 'inspection' of your (first) image Frank, did you trace a black circle around Jupiter? Nothing personal, but the edge of the disk just looks, well, unnatural for a not-so-sharp image. :oops:

No worries Seanie say what you like.
Nope. I just did the usual processing in registax, no photoshopping.

If you look at the top left of the pic there is a black dot!

Matthew, although I 'd love to think I picked up something so
small I guess It's really not possable with the set up I have...
Ho well...I just guess I need a bigger scope so...

Phew! Thanks Frank!

Now you have me worried!
Is there really a definate line around the edge?
Maybe my monitor isn't up to scratch...
I do some processing on the laptop coz its faster
but then I take the image from there and do any further work
on the main pc.

I wonder am I missing something?

I did adjust the levels a bit but by 'no photoshopping' I ment
no adding anything 'artificial'.... if ya catch my drift....

It is not that there is a line Frank, it just looks too sharp on the edges. For pig iron, if you used the blur tool lightly around the edge of the whole disk, the result would be what I thought would appear as a natural edge to it. Thats all!

Dont ever say that frank! Dave mc donald discovered a supernova with a C-8! Nothing is impossible!

Indeed - a point well made Matthew. If anyone thought an 8" scope could not get down to mag 17.9 about 15 miles from Dublin, guess again!
