Jupiter 8th Jan before the rain!

[astroman001]

Hi all,

Here is an image of Jupiter from early this morning. I only captured one set of RGB images before I noticed the histogram fading, I thought it was dew until I felt rain drops

I only just managed to get the roof closed before it really came down! It crept up on me from behind, didn't see it coming.

Anyway, luckily the seeing wasn't too bad for that run, although not as good as the 1st Jan. GRS just coming onto the disk.

Regards

Peter

Nice worth the effort getting up, I would love to have joined you. The sight at 6:30 was stunning!

Nice image. Glad you managed to escape the downpour.

Excellent! Is that the Great Red Spot peeking from the left side?
