Hi all,
On June 10 I gave Jupiter my very first attempt this year feeding very little hopes to get some decent image out because its murky altitude from here.
But I had an unexpectedly good seeing on that morning when the sky was getting brighter and brighter and the planet was falling down to 22 degs.
Transparency was poor given the 95% ground umidity turning Jupiter into a yellowish star.
Here you can find the image:

The tricoloured NTB is nothing short of amazing indeed at these longitudes! I never noticed such a beatiful revival so far!
Hope to have more opportunities like this one over next summer.
