Jupiter in the jetstream

Even though the Jetstream maps weren't favourable, I still tormented myself and got out there to take some avi of Jupiter + GRS.

The jetstream is weird - the seeing looks ok in the eyepiece, but when imaging, the fine detail is just gone.. everything is blurred together. I shouldn't even bother imaging while it's there but it's more practise aligning and using the platform, so I persist.

Here's the best of my avi's from last night.. oh and another thing I noticed, Jupiter is getting smaller! Come back oh gas giant!

170 frames stacked in registax, wavelets processed in registax and then deconvoluted in astraimage.
