Jupiter - 24/06/20

[russ]

Decided against better judgement to try Jupiter again, last time was 20th May. It was so hot in the house I couldn't sleep anyway. So may as well be outside under the crystal clear skies they forecast. 

First problem, forecast was pants. 100% covering of high cloud, and only the very brightest stars visible. Jupiter was in the thick of it and Saturn not visible at all. Seeing was 3/10 if i was being very generous. Can't believe I even bothered grabbing the laptop. So after much swearing and cursing I ended up with not much.  This was about the best of a very bad bunch. Best 20% from 1698 frames. Taken on the 200P with Explore Scientific 3x and QHY5L-II C.

The moon popping out from behind Jupiter is Io.
