Hi David, it is what it is.
Jupiter is very low, it has been very hot out here in the bush, always capturing data with heat still radiating back up into the atmosphere. This data is about as good as it has been this apparition, probably a rather sad statement. I could have sharpened it further but I hate seeing planetary data butchered. I live in hope that a bunch of stable air is on the way. Of course, this apparition has been our worst for some time but Jupiter will now start heading back our way. Come 2017 we will have Saturn & Mars virtually overhead with Jupiter up at a rather nice 64 degrees. Much to look forward to. Reckon you might have to work toward a Planetary setup to take advantage of the opportunity about to be presented to us in OZ.
