Submitting images:
When submitting images to TA please send them as an e-mail attachment and please try to
use the following filename format:
object_yyyymmdd_hhmm_observer.jpg
where object is the name of the object, yyyymmdd, hhmm is the date and time of
the exposure (the hhmm field is optional) and observer is a unique observer code
(say your initials).
It is also a good idea to include details of the telescope, scale, orientation,
camera, filter etc as annotation on the image.

- 1999 August 21. This image of Venus
was taken one day after inferior conjunction. The seeing conditions were
terrible due to the proximity of the Sun and this is the best frame from a
20 minute long videotape! Nick James.
- 1999 May 27. This is an
extraordinary image of Venus in the UV obtained by Maurizio Di Sciullo,
Coconut Creek, Florida. He used an Excelsior Optics E-258, a Starlight Xpress
HX-516 and a filter with a passband of 330-390 nm to obtain this image.

Some less-than-atrocious seeing allowed another Jupiter image to be taken

decent image out of some 600 taken over a 2 hour period.

- 1995
- Saturn was an interesting object during 1995 as we passed through the plane of
its rings. Of particular importance were the numerous mutual satellite events
which took place throughout the year.
This image
was taken on 1995 July 16 just after a Tethys/Dione appulse. The
un-illuminated side of the rings can just be seen extending from the over-exposed
globe of Saturn. 0.30m Newtonian, Sony CCD, Nick James.
- One of the best mutual events was an annular eclipse of Rhea by Tethys.
The predicted duration of this event was 334s centred on 1995 September 24 at
01:16:27UT. Using a 0.30m Newtonian Nick James obtained a sequence of almost
100 5s CCD images during the event. Three of the images are shown
in this composite. It can be seen that at
mid-eclipse the combined image of Thetys and Rhea has faded. A
lightcurve obtained from
the CCD images shows the eclipse clearly.
- Later in the year Saturn's rings were very prominent as they became
illuminated by the Sun. Martin Mobberley's
image of Saturn clearly shows the rings
and the banded disk. The image was taken on 1995 September 13 at 2206UT using
a 0.49m Newtonian projected to f/28 and a Starlight Express CCD camera. North
is at the top in this image.
