Thumbs up New Jupiter Animation and images - 13th April

Hi all

Here's the final results from a very nice session in the early morning of the 13th April, before heading off to the SPSP later that morning.

The 12 frame animation spans about 1.5 hours, and the seeing improved as the session went on. It's a 1.6meg gif file.

I've attached the 3 images below from the start, middle and end of the session (though the first image was in poorer seeing).

Images captured at 1/30s (30fps), 100% gain, gamma at 16. I stacked 500 frames from each of 3 alignment points, out of the 1200 or so captured (40 seconds on each colour channel). Focal length measured at 10,083mm.

The last 2 attachments are probably 2 of my best Jupiter images this season, with loads of fine detail visible and Oval BA very well resolved.

Thanks for looking. Comments/questions welcome.
