Hi everyone
Finally found time to process some Jupiter images taken close to opposition earlier this month. Captured shortly after the New Year's Day celebrations around 1:40 AEDT with Meade 2x-3x variable barlow.
There was a brief 10 minute period of steady seeing for combination of 3000-4000 frames at an optimum focal ratio for my ccd (f/28).
I'm pretty happy to be able to squeeze some detail on Ganymede. That's probably as good as it is going to get this time round from my southerly latitudes..
Cheers,
Seb
