Seeing was much better than it has been for the past month - not really good yet, but vastly improved over what it was and good enough for imaging. Conditions slowly improved (between clouds) over a couple of hours until 5.35am and then abruptly deteriorated - guess there was a bubble of relatively slow jetstream overhead.

The image has been heavily processed, so is grainy, but I wanted to extract as much of the limited feature detail as possible. I did the RGB alignment in WINJUPOS - feature registration is OK, but there is still some limb misalignment - not sure why.

Thanks for looking. Regards Ray

Very nice. I have been stubbornly waiting for the clouds to clear this morning, but I think I'm out of luck.

Which camera are you using Ray?
