Jupiter through clouds (26/10/23)

[Kon]

I managed just a single capture through thin clouds before it all went dark tonight. Very stable seeing despite the clouds. It would have been an amazing capture, I think. My usual 8" setup.

A mobile capture of the seeing (Jupiter is the bright one in the centre).

Nice image 🙂

The NEB is a complex place at the moment !

Nice image. Steady seeing here so excellent detail in the Tak at x231. I was fascinated by the white spot. Clouded over now though.

Thanks John. Yes a lot is going on and there seems to be new features.

Thanks. Yes visually it also looked good. A shame about the clouds.

Nicely captured Kostas! Sounds very similar conditions to what I got on Saturn the other week. 

I'm going to try tonight for Saturn and the GRS , shows possibly of clear spells. Getting desperate now 😬

Thanks Stuart. We are missing good opportunities with this weather. I hope the weather holds for you. I am away for a long weekend with the family so no imaging for me.

Thanks. At the moment any imaging session is a bonus.

Nicely done Kostas. I recognise those clouds, but it shows what can be done imaging the planets despite the clouds, if the seeing is good enough. Now we just want to have our cake and eat, with good seeing and no clouds.
