Jupiter 2am (6 July)

[Kon]

In preparation of ISS fly over I had a quick go on Jupiter. The seeing was pretty good when I got it. Some nice banding is coming through. asi462mc, 2x barlow. PIPP, Autostakkert and Registax (at least trying 🤣).

Well done for getting out there, we cannot expect to much at this early stage a reasonable capture never the less!

Yes it is frustrating with the seeing, we have not had a stable night in long time.

Weather is real odd I get my best data under what should have ben a strong jetstream ? Then under apparently no jetsream. I get jetsream like disturbances in the images. Especially Saturn.

High pressure normally means good seeing. lately it doesnt seem to make any difference. Its like it cant be predicted other than the old visual method. 

Still some good detail coming through in your capture. Notice the background in the images getting darker as it goes more and more into night

It changes so quickly. I had 30 min of fantastic seeing at Veil last night but it quickly changed. I found if the met office reports VG seeing them it is pretty stable. I only recall 2-3 nights of amazing seeing this year back in January.

Thanks. Roughly 2am as I was setting up for my ISS capture at 3am.
