Saturn and Jupiter observing

It's Jean-Michel Jarre, Oxygene Part 2
Cool video.

That's great work - I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Yiannis.
Many thanks for putting that up, its nice to see it all working away.

We had our first look at Jupiter this year last weekend, the eye waters to see the potential we will have with it this year been substantially higher then it has been in previous years.

Ohh.
Where do I start!?
Going observing with Dave L.
You better pack your sat nav & ordanance survay map
along with a locator becon & survival rations!

5 deg?

This guy would have you driving into the ocean if
he thought he would get the object...
what's the phrase he's always using..?
...oh yeah...
' a little more respectable'

:laugh:

Still,
no better bouchail to go observing with,
not that he firstly, is my dear, dear friend
and secondly owns a 20'' dob.
Obviously not that order at all.

But this guy has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the sky.
And believe me, I've tested him!
Last SAC observing session as he was doing a tour of the constellations
for new attendees I was behind him with my iphone with starmap app running
trying to pick the obscure ones...
I almost had him at one stage...
almost.
Bah,
next time Batman!

Anyway, back to observing Jupiter.
I've got the club 10'' out the back as we speak
cooling down nicely so I can get my first proper look
at this awesome planet this year seeing as its
'getting respectable' in altitude.
I think after that a quick slew to the East before I pack up to
say hello to Venus is warranted.

Then I suppose it's shower..feed the babby and off to workey workey
tickety boo.
