Jupiter 14 April 21:44UT

This was a slightly rushed imaging session that I only started after receiving a text from a friend giving me the heads up that the seeing was good.  Unfortunately there was initially some patchy low cloud blowing across which prevented me from getting a capture before the GRS went out of view.

All was not lost though as the cloud did clear and I was able to get a set of RGB captures for this image:

Not the world's greatest image, but I am happy enough imaging Jupiter this late in the season.

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks all for your comments.  Now to see if the seeing is going to be any good this evening!

...we're nothing if not optimists Chris - but a very nice image here regardless!

Excellent image from the ASI174 Chris and some nice detail resolved. What is the white oval to centre below SEB? Looks too pale for Junior, but a significant size.

Lovely imaging with excellent details. To be proud of for sure.

Thanks again for all the comments.

In this case it turned out to be misplaced optimism with the seeing last night being back to its normal poor self!

It is definitely not Junior, but you are right that it is a significant size.  It should be easy enough to see this in other images as it is pretty much in the centre of the disc as the GRS has just gone out of view.

Unfortunately there do not seem to be any other images of Jupiter, taken at around this time with a large image scale posted here for comparison.  I am a little surprised at this because good seeing, especially on a non-school night, normally brings a flood of quality for us to enjoy.  Maybe most others have already given up on Jupiter this season or were put off by the high winds during the day.

Cheers,

Nice work Chris!

[neil phillips]

Good to see you getting some shots Chris, I know things have been tough this time around. Nice shot

[cgarry]

Thanks Simon and Neil.  It is good to be back out imaging again!

I captured some more data in the good seeing last night (20th), now just to turn it in to an image.

Cheers,

Chris
