Jupiter from Last Night

Jupiter at 7:12pm yesterday evening. Conditions average to good Mandurah, Western Australia.

Love it! Well done!  Jupiter up here in Blighty is pretty much pants at the moment with the low altitude of Jupiter, and the flipping jet stream blowing above us! Sheesh!

Yes we're getting a bit of the jetstream too and need to dodge the clouds here. We seem to have sky mist which fuzzifies detail. I haven't had many good or better seeing nights where I am. The only thing going for me is the elevation.

Very nice! Lovely strong colours without being too saturated. The SEB is looking very broken up at the moment judging by your image.

oh wow that is stunning. Really makes me realise what we are missing out on at the moment in the UK.

That's great, Dave - I particularly like it because I saw the GRS (more central) last night, and your image gives it in context and detail I couldn't hope to see!

Great image, I was also out last night and the view was similar to that.

Apart from all the details 😂

I don't know about anyone else when the planets were higher in the Northern hemisphere but I rarely see much detail on live view and only a couple of times visually. I guess filters would help with eyepieces. When I do see it on live view it's fleeting, very faint and always washed out by the brightness.

This was from the ZWO ASI224MC about 6:37pm that same night. Ganymede down the bottom. The Neximage 5 couldn't pick up the moon, only some of the shadow but I would put that down to the seeing and slower frame rate of the Neximage 5.
I much prefer the colour that the Neximage 5 gives compared to the 224mc, I can spend hours trying to get the colour better with the 224 and still not get it right. I gave up on this image in the end as I've spent way too much time of it.
