Jupiter and GRS Jr 20100619 0910UT

1st image from my 2nd of the early season.  I really wanted sleep, but more good seeing in the SE USA and some clear skies for a change got me out of bed.  I tried to get the GRS Jr. and may have sharpend a bit too far.

Tell me what you think I caught going on near the GRS Jr.

Astronomy - Solar System - Jupiter (2010)




SEB seems gone at start of season. First opposition with the Flea3

Late season Mars


Rescaled 2x using the 2.5x PM and the new(ish) Flea3!

Anyone know what that bright spot in the blue channel is near Arabia Terra?




Earlier shot doesn't show, must be some alignment or stacking error

Testing my PGR Flea3 FL3-FW-03S1M-C in Ubuntu 9.04 Linux on a DL380-G5 with the PGR FirePro FWB-PCIE-01 - 1394b PCI Express Card
With this setup I was able to achieve 102fps, 16bit (12bit stuffed) and the full frame size.
