Jupiter from last night

My first imaging run in 2 weeks!

I had to battle very hard though, the platform is now working, but it's slipping and so Jupiter would just shoot off the FOV at times when I least expected it. I had to struggle to find patches along its motion where it stayed put.

Captured 7 avi's, but the seenig progressively got worse, starting from around 5/10 and ending up at 3/10.

I had the fan running, ambient was around 11.3° and the mirror was within 0.8°.

As much as I tried through processing, I just can't get any more out of this image. The blue channel was overexposed as I had the light meter at around 230 but the transparency must've got better and it creeped up to 240 without me realising it.

Anyway it's good to be tired again, hopefully some better seeing will come my way soon..

Captured @ 5fps for 125 seconds.
