Again I took 6 avis (as I did with Mars) and again only 1 is actually worth anybody looking at it!

The seeing was ok (6/10) however it wasn't particularly transparent considering Jupiter is at high elevation. I was getting good frame rates of 148fps in sharpcap and the below was shot at exposure time 0.0065 and gain 31 framed at 320x280. Theres a slight misalignmnt with the moon which (I think) was Europa as I was imaging at about 10pm.

Anyway it was 3500 of 6000 frames and is "the boring side" of jupiter (I missed the GRS transit because I was watching Line of Duty-Highly recommended gritty British police drama).

Comments/advice welcomed

Nice image. Personally I would keep gamma at default as you can always drop gamma in processing. RGB align can be sorted in registax auto rgb alignment.

148fps but only 6000 frames captured? Ideally you want to be recording 15000+ at that frame rate.
