Jupiter 3rd March from Snake Valley

[davidpretorius]

Well, paul haese and bird captured some absolute beauties on the saturday night. This one is from friday night. Seeing was say 5-6/10. Seeing before the fog came on sunday morning, bird rated at 8.5/10.

I am pleased with the roundness of the shadow.

Sunday was a disaster for me, fog made transparency crap and the moisture was streaming down the scope and the mirror was soaked!!!

440 out of 900 frames optimized colour. straight thru registax!

can't be stuffed splitting etc:whistle:

Dave, Only if you had not busted your focuser for Sat night / Sun morn! Well done though for getting this on Friday when seeing was very ordinary.
