Jupiter Feb 15 -- Farewell for this season, big guy.

Took a late-in-the-season look at Jupiter this evening through the C6SE "grab and go". Seeing was not too awful, so I took some video. Monochrome only, DMK21 through a 2x barlow + extender + #25 Wratten Red filter.

There is some interesting turbulence visible following the GRS.

Am thinking maybe I should get a DBK618 for these occasions.

A good effort for so late in the season Ivan.

Yeah, the DBK does a great job when time is tight.

Nice shot Ivan :0

Thanks for all the comments, and thanks for looking.

Peter, time was indeed tight. This video was taken between cloud banks while the sky was still light. I also took an orange filter, and un-filtered (but they did not stack very well). Then it was clouded out, so about 12 minutes of observing!

One shot colour would be an advantage on this alt-az mount, as image rotation across separate RGB videos requires extra fiddling during processing.
