Jupiter with GRS (through fog; 9/8/23)

[Kon]

Awful conditions this morning but stable seeing through the fog. I am surprised that I managed to get some details through. Nice prominent GRS. 2x180s derotation and my usual 8" Dob setup.

Thanks Stuart. Awful summer so far, and we do not seem to be getting a break anytime soon. Worth trying 😀.

Yes I'm kicking myself for not trying this morning. Met office showed cloud coming in so I didn't bother and you guessed the rest, crystal clear when I got up at 5.45. Didn't realize GRS was on show either 🥴😵 😡

The fog did not clear here until 6 or so and it was way too bright to do anything. It is a weird jetstream we are having as the seeing is rather stable, even from my weekend post. I am sure if the fog was not there, the captures would have been great. I do question myself why image under these conditions .....but oh well I did put my alarm on 😀.

Great image.

I was out for an hour and never turned away from the Moon.

Jupiter was quite brilliant, but the Moon had me captivated.

Indeed the close proximity of the two made for a nice viewing.

Thats a lovely early Jupiter Kon. Good colour balance and the red spot as a bonus too.
