Good viewing and the DMK 21AU04 imager will record the goods! Jupiter is close to being directly overhead with a late moonrise, but the fine weather hasn稚 brought good atmospherics. Thin high cloud spoilt the evenings, 21st and 22nd. Last night I managed 5 captures between 6.35 to 7.10, the best as attached, after which it was impossible to focus with any accuracy.
For those who may have had similar problems with their finder scope - submitted a week ago - I知 pleased to report after following the focusing instructions, it was great to use. But I do agree with the member who criticized the thickness of the cross hairs. You can hide Jupiter behind them. Thanks Satchmo for your assistance.

Hey Dennis, from one Dennis to another – top stuff mate! Practice makes perfect and there is no east apprenticeship in planetary imaging, so good on you for having a go and producing these respectable results. You may have been hindered by the atmospheric conditions, it’s been pretty ordinary the last couple of weeks.
