Jupiter and the jet stream (28/09/22)

[Kon]

Jupiter is also suffering from the conditions that we are having at the moment. This is the best I could get last night. 8" Dob, asi462mc, 2.5xTV powermate.

Nice image Kostas👍. I Like how you got it so large!

Nicely done Kon. The jetstream was also killing me early on the night of 28th/29th, but moved away by the early hours of 29th, with seeing significantly improving for me over in the east.

Yep, it's so difficult to work with the planets when the jet stream is just screaming above our heads. I often find it near on impossible to know if I am properly focused or not. I usually just resort to visual enjoyment at the eyepiece in such conditions. I also quite enjoy how a UHC filter really enhances the view of Jupiter and Saturn visually in poor conditions.

That's as good as it got for me unfortunately. Let's hope for some stable air.

I gave up imaging last night and did some DSO observing as transparency was very good.

It's been dreadful weather, hardly any stable seeing even during summer.

An excellent decision. That was my plan too until it started to pish down like there was no tomorrow.
