Animation: Jupiter with Gread Red Spot on 2nd June 2018

[Archonom 184]

During last night, I took 21 stacks of Jupiter (each 20 000 frames, 90s recording time, shutter around 3-7 ms, gain around 300 - 400).

The best 19 stacks were taken, sharpened and thrown into the GIF bucket. 

The animation has two things I like: First, one can see the rotation of the GRS and if one looks close enough, one can see that the rotation is acyclic. Second, the first stacks were taken around 22:45, while the last ones are from 23:45. One can see that the seeing improves over time, resulting in the best 4-7 frames at the end of the animation. It reminds me that no matter how much you practice, the results highly depend on the conditions of that night.

Although I already posted the animation in another thread, I hope you enjoy it and accept is as a challenge entry.
