Hi all,

Here are some images from this evening. As the oval merger wasnt
visible this evening, good seeing of course prevailed!. Images clearly
show B5 and B6, as well as streaks across the STZ. Also note the nice
blue NEBs feature.

Also find attached an image of Ganymede, this time showing Galileo
Regio at CML=3D160 degs. I used the camera in a small sub frame mode to
obtain 3 frames/sec for this image (which is composed of 18 x 0.20secs.
Please find the data attached. Hopefully conditions will hold up for
the GRS area tomorrow night.

Best Wishes

Damian

Hi all,

I attach more images from March 27th, this one being the best sequence from that evening. I am suprised so much can still be recorded given the Planet is so much smaller now!.These were obtained during a period of very good seeing. Note the tiny white oval in the STB streak, and also detail witin B-6, namely it seems to consist of two dark spots.

Best Wishes

Damian
