Hi everyone

Haven't posted to this forum in a while so I thought I'd share some of my first Jupiter attempts this year. So far morning of Wed 27th had the best seeing conditions of 2019, hoping for more of the same as Jupiter and Saturn near opposition.

Terrific detail. Lovely images for so early in the apparition. Well done.

Very nice images Sebbie, it is interesting that the equatorial band is noticably a darker tan colour now. Glad you're getting some nice conditions to image in. Not so good here on the coast but I'm looking forward to getting back into some planetary imaging this season with Jupiter and Saturn. Conditions for the next few mornings are favourable and it helps that they are getting higher before twilight sets in.

Thanks guys, was up this morning and the seeing was terrific.. single stack of 1500 frames attached (19:46 UTC).

Hope to have a crack at Saturn when it gets a bit higher.
