Subject: Jupiter images (March 10th, 11th.)

Hi all,

Here are some Jupiter images from March 10th, and
11th, both obtained under pretty good seeing
conditions. These (my 111 & 112th observing sessions!)
are my last of the 2002-03 apparition. Various
circumstances are forcing a premature return to the
UK. I fly back this Friday.

I look forward to resuming imaging and observing this
summer from South Florida, for the great 2003 Mars
opposition. Until then, i very much look forward to
continuing to review everyones images of Jupiter for
the remainder of the 2002-03 apparition.

For me, its been a great apparition, and spending the
last 7 months here (aside from the highly variable
seeing!) has been enjoyable, with so many clear
nights. I am intending, in near future, to again
relocate overseas (my other half and i are currently
considering various options .) I will of course keep
you posted.

"Adios" from Tenerife...
