Hi all, Here is an animation of 12 Red channels ll taken with a C14" Lumenera SKYnyx 2-0 on the 25th of July the seeing was Ok. As you can see in the image the impact is clearly visible.A lot of work went into this image I must also say well done to Dave Gradwell for his great work on the Animation. Images by Carl O'Beirnes.

Thanks for the comments lads. Looking forward to some clear skies to see how much the impact has changed or not. Carl O'Beirnes, Balbriggan Observatory (MPC#J09) www.webtreatz.com |

Carl have you heard about the spot that's been found on Venus? See here for details. |

Congratulations Carl, that is stunning!!!, on one frame in particular the seeing must have been very good to get such a high contrast view like that. Excellent stuff.

Hi all, Thanks very much for all the reply 's. If we got the weather over a few nights I would love to get an entire animation of the globe, before Jupiter starts decreasing in size. As per everything time is always against us and so is the weather, seeing conditions, Carl O'Beirnes, Balbriggan Observatory (MPC#J09) Co Dublin. www.webtreatz.com |

Observed the Jovian impact scar again last night (Aug 5/6th) between 01.00-02.00 BST. The seeing was poor but at times I managed to see a sharp disk with plenty of detail. The best view was obtained using a 12.5mm 1.25" eyepiece combined with a 8.5" F/7 reflector. The impact scar has now elongated an impressive distance in horizontal extent, what must be several times the size of Earth. During brief moments of better seeing I could make out a curved profile to the scar along with a fainter feature below (N) of the primary giving the impression of a lens or eye-shaped feature with bright surface at centre. The scar itself is very black indeed. Amazing that it's still visible.

Great report martin I'm looking forward to having a look at it tonight. I had to give up imaging last night the seeing was so bad there was no detail on Jupiter at all.
Ps,
Let's hope it's better tonight,
Carl.

Thanks very much Carl. Looks like tonight's transit will be low in the sky, but will have a go anyway. Good luck tonight. I haven't had good seeing yet ever since the impact.  |
