Been a while between posts with so much cloud over on the east coast - it was still patchy cloud on the 29th and jetstream was pretty bad too, but enough clear sky to tempt me to head out.
Fortunately GRS was in transit which is actually the first full GRS transit I've been able to observed this season would you believe?!? I spent about an hour or 2 on the binos which yielded some surprisingly decent views of festoons and white oval storms, but still just a second here and there where the detail snaps into focus as the seeing moves.
I spent the second half of the GRS transit taking some shots. The view on screen was not too encouraging - again with only transitory glimpses of detail through the mess. Guess we just gotta play with the cards we're dealt!

AS!3 / Regi6
Trying a few different processing options including drizzle and different capture lengths as I'm still trying to get the best out of my newish asi462mc. But probs need better conditions for a good test.
Thanks for looking :)
