Well, the seeing here tonight was a total wash out so I had to go with the seeing & go with the logical scale - 1.5x barlow.

One at 2x just to show what it was like.

Thanks for the view John, you get points for trying. I have no doubt you have made the most of the conditions given. All the best.

Hi John. Compared to your earlier excellence, this is a stark demonstration of the effects of the atmosphere... Hopefully it will improve sometime soon. thanks for posting Ray

Hi John,

Just got back from another Lawn Bowls trip, this time for my son.
When I saw the title of your post my first thoughts were that you must have finally run out of car polish;).

Thinking about it though, any data is better than no data.
An as yet undiscovered asteroid could have collided with Jup as you were capturing data and the flash would still have shown up even at this quality so it is still a worthwhile exercise even when the conditions look crook.

Regards
Trevor
