JUPITER Sequence Mar 26 - with sps900nc webcam

Hi All, some pics of Jupiter and moons from this morning with the Mewlon 180 and sps900nc webcam.

The only thing I can say nice about the seeing this morning is that is was better than yesterday morning. I took a range of avis from 3.20 to 4.20am. The seeing started "ok" around 4-5/10 dropped to 3/10 and rose again to 4-5/10 toward the end, this can be seen in the image sharpness in the sequence. I could no doubt improve on some of these, but the quality doesn'y motivate to spend any more hours.

DP, I tried the 4x at the end, but power supply died after 10 frames

Again I was running Gain between 60-80%, Gamma 50% and Brightness 50%. Still a bit ONIONY, but not as bad as night before. K3CCD light meter hovered between 220 and 230 so no under-exposure. Oniony bits courtesy of seeing wobbles I reckon.

cheers,
