The image of Jupiter as seen on the CNF webpage (see link in previous message)
was spectacular and I thought it was even better when my laptop monitor was
viewed slightly at an angle (tipped up or down) and at a distance of about 5
feet. It improves the contrast without any processing, but makes the limb
darken somewhat which gives the image a 3-D effect. Neat!
Clear skies,

Darrell gives some good advice on webcams for Solar System imaging, but in
addition to "quickest and cheapest" we should add "best." All of the good
planetary images are being taken by digital video cameras. If that's your only
interest right now, there's no need to look at CCD cameras.
Next time you use the 1-meter telescope at Pic du Midi, be sure to bring your
Webcam so you can get pictures like these.
