Jupiter, January 11 + Red Jr

The seeing this morning was truly awful, maybe 1 or 2/10. A fire was burning about 10km away at lake george, and I was looking right over it.

Last night was amazingly hot - at sunset the temp was 35C, and at midnight it was still 28C. The minimum for the night was 21C at about 5am.

And it was followed today by our 2nd hottest day ever - 40.5C. Yowzers!

Anyhow, here's an image of Jupiter from this morning at about 5:11am local time. Features to note are the transit of Io, and Oval BA (AKA Red Jr).

Image capture: 60 seconds each channel @ 35fps.

cheers, Bird
