Hi Phil -
Those are superb images of Jupiter - I don't remember seeing better from a six
inch aperture. I had some success also on May 27 with that nice Europa transit -
will post a finished image over the weekend.
Thanks for sharing those fine shots.
Alan

Thanks for the quick fix, I sure am glad I wasn't imaging between
12:00 and 2:00 last night!
Last Saturday night I was treated to a night of good seeing and took
the opportunity to image Jupiter through a 3.5" Maksutov and a
Quantum 6 scope. I put together a short animation showing the
transit of Europa and a hint of Red Jr. I used Quicktime to make a
movie from 16 LRGB images, you can find it at the following address.
This was very time consuming and i will be looking for a way to
automate the process!

Also, I captured a few decent images with the Quantum scope that can
be seen a the bottom of the following page.

Wishing all of you good seeing,
Phil
