Jupiter from Saturday morning - 15/03

Hi all

These images were captured on Saturday morning, in fairly good seeing but very poor transparency. I was imaging DSO's over night and by the time I got the 12" on the mount, a fog had rolled in. I also missed the best of the seeing - unfortunately as the altitude rose, the seeing deteriorated and transparency got worse, with the last image of the session barely visible on the screen.

The 2nd image is a LRGB composite, which turned out better than expected. I wished I'd captured the others the same, as the Luminance channel could be captured at 30fps.

Ganymede's shadow is seen at the start of transit in the 2nd/3rd image, and the new LRS and Oval BA are setting in the first image.

Thanks for looking.

Nice mike!
you can certainly see the difference in seeing from the first to the last one.
Seeing has been exactly the same here! nice around 5-5:30 but by the time its higher it only gets worse...strange weather!
cheers Gary

Thanks Mike. The colour balance is good on the LRGB image, on my monitor the others are a bit green (or yellow, hard to tell).

cheers, Bird
