Europa’s Transit of Jupiter, 29 November 2012
Having managed to catch some of Ganymede’s transit the previous day, it was then Europa’s moment of fame, though again I didn’t manage the entire transit: And an animation of the end of the transit:
Ganymede’s Transit of Jupiter, 28 November 2012
On the 28th November I (pretty much accidentally) caught the transit of Jupiter by Ganymede. Here’s one of the better stills from that night: And an animated sequence of first half of the transit:
SPC900 vs. PS2 Eye camera
When I posted images from the Xbox, Lifecam and SPC900 for comparison, someone asked about the PS2 Eye camera (not the Eye Toy). Last night whilst I was imaging Jupiter and Europa I had a go with it. Control is … Continue reading
SPC900 vs. Xbox Live cam vs. Lifecam Cinema
“What webcam can I use if I can’t get/afford an SPC900?” seems to be a common question now the SPC900 has become difficult to get hold of, but there doesn’t seem to be much empirical evidence on which to base … Continue reading

Observation Report catchup
It has, IMNSHO, been a rubbish summer. Sunny days have been few and far between and according to the reports this August was the coldest for seventeen years. September isn’t turning out to be anything of an improvement either. So, … Continue reading
Observation Report, 19/8/2011
We’ve had the occasional clear night since May, but mostly when the moon was very close to full, leaving little to observe except the moon itself, but last night was the first time I’ve been able to spent a significant … Continue reading
