Hi all

Here's the best image from data captured on the night of the 11th May. I had a great patch of seeing for about an hour, in which time I captured about 5 great runs of Jupiter, including her moons.

The moons were just outside the FOV and are being processed separately. They'll be combined into a huge image later. Probably an animation too. I'm not done with this data yet!

Captured at 11:45pm local time, at 1/30s exposure (30fps), gain 100%, gamma 18. Captured for 40 seconds each channel. 600 frames from each channel were stacked to make the final result.

12" newt on EQ6, DMK21AF04 + 5x powermate, Astronomik RGB filters. Focal length was 10,386mm.

There's some amazing detail visible, including the STrD-2, what appears to be a line of small red spots in the NTZ, the LRS in the NNTZ and many more fine spots.

This is probably one of my most detailed Jupiter images to-date. I can't wait to finish processing the moons.

Thanks for looking.
