The images you see here are pretty much the first & last from the session, so the GRS was only just coming into view when I ran out of good viewing. BUT I have enough data for an animation of about 20 frames, so you never know...
The temperature profile in Rockhampton was much more conducive to this kind of imaging that I find in Canberra. The sunset temp was about 25C and overnight minimum temp about 19C. My cooling gear had no problem keeping it all together. Compare that to current canberra climate - 20C at sunset and overnight low of 8C :-(
Of course the mozzies liked the conditions too. I think I personally fed every flying insect for miles around. They just couldnt resist the lure of a laptop screen. It was kinda amusing watching insects crawling around on the screen, drawn to the live video image of Jupiter. I had to keep swatting them out of the way to see what was going on.
