Don't usually do planets as my setup is not really suitable and they are low on my northern sky over houses up the hill behind me but last night was a ripper. A cool southerly cleared the air so LP was minimal and thermals were blown away from me and the moon put in a late appearance. I'd spent several hours imaging Eta C and trying to get data in the South Pillars but Jupiter was bright and stable so at the end of the night I swung around andd grabbed a few hundred frames.
So 450D through a 2 x Barlow and the Lunt 102 ED f7. 100 iso 300 frames for this capture. If I get another chance like this I'll try again with the ASI 120mc but it's the first time I have gotten decent colour and reasonably well defined bands. There are also two moons, Ganymede and Europa I think, Io should be there somewhere according to Jupiter2 and the GRS is just visible I think dissapearing around the corner according to Jupiter2 again.
