Jupiter 22-08-21

[U Cyg]

I set up last night in the hope of catching at least part of the transit of Europa, Ganymede and their shadows but clouds stopped play once again. It did clear later on so I managed to capture the GRS.  The seeing wasn't very good and I had trouble finding best focus so I was pleased with what AS!3 produced after stacking.

The last time I imaged Jupiter before the cloud set in was 22-07-21, so here are the two images maybe showing some subtle changes around the GRS?

Great GRS! I can see those subtle changes you speak of. The dynamic nature of the clouds is always interesting!

Thanks Reggie.  I had looked at the two images for so long that I wasn't completely sure if there were changes or not!

Many thanks Neil, Pete & Peter.

Yes Neil, I noticed the finer detail in the first one, maybe I did hit focus after all.

Lovely smooth images. Lots of detail. You can certainly see the differences around the GRS in a month

Lovely result especially for an 8" scope, and nicely processed.
