Seeing matters
Well, dunno if this morning was seeing or tube currents and/or mirror not at ambient.
When I usually setup for a morning of Jupiter imaging, I leave my scope out all night in the dew.. but at least the mirror is at ambient at 4am.
Last night I didn't leave it out in the open. I mean, it sits outside under the pergola all the time (not inside), but it still wasn't "out in the cold" and dew.
The seeing looked promising, as the stars weren't twinkling at all, so I set the scope up to do some imaging, but I just wasn't getting the results I was hoping for. Not sure if it was the seeing or my setup.. in any case, here's the results of a quick 30 minute session this morning.
If it was the weekend I would've left it out another hour and got Red Jnr as it crossed the CM, but I decided I'd had enough of the mozzie swarm and came to work instead.
I only took 6 avi's, here are #3 and #6 with identical processing applied.
