Hi all,
The storm looks like an equatorial band in this image, with some clumping, but not all that clear. Seeing wasn't very good with passing low clouds. I had to manually track the Dob this morning because it took was going all over the place during alignment and I didn't want to wake the neighbours with the motors. Turns out I put the wrong date in the inital setup! Downsized from the original 640x480 taken with Canon EOS 550D and 4x teleconverters through a Sky-Watcher 12" Dobsonian. Looks a bit noisy as I only picked the best 100 out of 3000 frames at 60fps at ISO1600.
Cheers,
Tom
