Hi Jim -

Nice work - the highlights are a little shifted towards cyan on my monitor, but with this corrected the color would be very good. 

I was out observing the nice Europa transit last night (40 miles south of you) - the air was trembling, I didn't try to take any pictures - but even in poor seeing I could follow the moon and its shadow nicely. I is a great treat to watch these transits close to opposition with the moon and shadow almost together.

Thanks for posting your images.

best,

Alan

Hi All,

Just wanted to share my imaging results of Jupiter through my 3 inch TV refractor.

The interesting thing is that I actually get better results enabling the CCD overdrive option in 

AstroIIDC's preferences panel despite the extra noise this feature produces.

It not only allows me to image at 7.5 fps which is essential in capturing the fast moving 

Jupiter features but both the color fidelity and image appearance is better.

For some reason the normal image of Jupiter appears squashed  but surface details might be 

somewhat better due to reduced noise.

Comments as to why are welcome.

Jim
