A substantial jet stream over Adelaide tonight, but still Jupiter was steadier than we've had over the last few nights. Seeing was maybe 4 - 5 / 10

11" SCT, 2x barlow, SkyNyx 2.0, 40 secs each of RGB @ 39 fps.

Superb picture! That's my favorite region on Jupiter.

Nice work, Graeme. Still some good detail despite the seeing.

It looks like it should be flipped horizontally though - are you imaging with a diagonal in the train?

Yes I am Mike. I was wondering about the orientation. I rotated the image but didn't flip it.

ah that explains it. When south is up, the facing limb should be on the right and the preceeding limb on the left (so the GRS rotates from right to left across the face).
