Jupiter has a pimple, 30/04

Hi all.

The jetstream has sat over the top of me for the last 3-4 weeks, haven't had any (what I'd call) good images for a month! What's made it even more frustrating, is that the weather has been clear most nights!

I'd go out, put an eyepiece in, jelly. Go back to bed. Some nights i'd even try with the laptop, jelly, delete avi, go back to bed.

Last night at least it finally reached "average" seeing. I was able to capture 8 avi's with ganymede coming out from behind Jupiter, before clouds passed over.

Happy to capture some minor detail on ganymede, and some nice spots in the STZ and STB. Ganymede was aligned, stacked and processed separately, and combined with the planet image in photoshop.

Comments welcome.
