Jupiter 3rd March 2014

[leelee970]

Had a quick (and I mean quick) go at Jupiter last night, clouds kept rolling past making things difficult.

Usual kit used as per my sig.

There was a large orange oval just before the GRS, at first I thought it was the famous GRS until I processed the image.

Neat, we spotted this spot visually. Good to have confirmation,

Nice one Lee.

I first saw the oval coming over the horizon and mistook it for the GRS, until I realised it was too close to the equator.  I was luckier than you, clear skies from 7:30 until I packed up and went to bed just before midnight, only interrupted by thin high cloud for about 30 minutes around 10:30pm.  I thought that the seeing was going after 11:30, but a quick stack of my last run (number 27) it is probably going to turn out to be one of the best.  After packing up, I took the dog out for a walk around midnight and noticed how clear and sharp Jupiter was, wish I had stayed for another 30 minutes to get a bit more of the GRS going round.

I'd love to see your images Robin. Sounds like you had much better skies.

Very good Lee. Not bad at all for a very quick run.
