Jupiter from this morning, 24th April 2009

First clear morning in a week, finally able to image Jupiter again. I was hoping for nice seeing as fog was predicted and one of the coolest mornings so far leading into Winter.

The seeing was only average though, slightly better than it has been lately which is an encouraging sign. I caught the tail end of the GRS in the first image and the NEB outbreak rising in the 2nd image.

The data was captured at 30fps for 45 seconds in each channel. Approx 350 frames from each channel were stacked, and was processed in Registax, AstraImage and Photoshop.

More unsettled weather with a southerly change predicted for the next few days so not sure when the next opportunity to image will be. Just gotta keep trying!

Thanks for looking.
