IC63 & IC59

I would have said it was a group effort, I supplied the power supply, and didn't get a mention.

I'd like Mark S to try this with his banana scope, I think it would be good to see how well it comes out, I think it would look similar.....

It's on my target list for DSC.  I have some unfinished business with M31 - then I'll try this.  I also want to nail the Pleiades good and proper.  It's gonna be a diffraction spike fest!

Then I'm also bringing along the C11 because there's a red spot transit at 20 past midnight Friday night.  I haven't got a decent red spot image yet and both Skippy Sky & Meteoblue are predicting fairly good seeing.

Fays bringing my 2" 4* Powermate if you want to borrow it.

Alternatively you're welcome to borrow my 1.25" 5x powermate, if you'd like to come round and get it?

[MarkS]

Thanks for the Powermate offers but a factor of 2x is perfect - it gives a disc 300 pixels across with my C11.  My webcam is only 640x480 so I don't want a disc much larger than this otherwise Jupiter will keep drifting out of frame.

I'm just wondering where to set the scope up so that Jupiter is not obscured by the huge tree next to Mick's camper - probably have to go out into the middle of the field.

At least I did my picture on my own

Unfortunately you were beaten by that collaboration image.
