Jupiter Dobbed in 19 July 2019
With my Celestron C6 boxed waiting for some warranty work on on the worm gears, an unexpected break in the clouds and wind here in Canberra led to me getting out the GSO 10 inch Dob on its original base and doing some crude manual planet chasing with the ASI 1224mc in frigid conditions. I was hoping to combine a large set of runs (or fly by s as Jupiter shoots through the camera's view) but I was not able to control the 'smoothness' of the Alt az adjustments sufficiently. After a purge with PIPP managed to get nearly 1300 complete frames on Jupiter in this run so here is the result which may encourage (or discourage) those with lesser mounts to track with!
