Jupiter, 19 Nov, SEB revival

Clear sky and reasonable seeing last night allowed me to image Jupiter; the SEB revival (to the left of the meridian in these images) is really starting to spread!

RGB composite:

Standalone IR:

Nice images Alt/az doesn't give you any field rotation problems when stacking RGB ?

Not in the limited time spans dictated by Jupiter's rotation ... and at 55N planets don't pass through the zenith where field rotation can be a serious issue!

The seeing went worse later so I changed down to prime focus.

Here's a two frame IR animation showing the planet's rapid rotation:

Obviously lots of disturbance trailing the "outbreak" spot!
