Jupiter 18 March (local) with GRS
last night had another attempt at getting jupiter. Some scattered cloud about and the seeing was 4/10. Image was moving around all over the place. Seeing her of late has not been the best, it makes focus very hard. This shot was taken 1430 UT 17 March 05.
GRS spot was visible all though hard to see on the screen.
Frames 128 frames / 600
cleaned up in Astra image
despeckle in PS
Cloud detail present with Southern polar region and temporate zones showing more detail than normal. Some detail in the GRS, and festooning an barges present in theequatorial belt.
Dark spot on the Northern eq belt lower right is in fact a dust donut on the filter of the toucam, it needs to be cleaned off.
I think that collimation can now be put to rest, as this shot would have been a lot better if the seeing was at least 7/10 and it was a little sharper.
Anyway comments welcome. Would like to know what Bird thinks and any tips that he gave give me to improve now.
