I used the hartman mask on the f10 shot, but day light was rapidly approaching and Jupiter was getting very dim when I tried with the 2x barlow. I got it focused again, but then started taking shots. The LPI software has a setting for rejection of images under a certain level. I had this set to 65% and so it never got above 9 shots. When the percentage of a shot gets over the set limit, the software records it. It takes about 10 shots for the softeware to get a baseline to work from and then the shots just get better if the seeing remains above the 65% level. You can actually set it to what ever level you want, just that if you go too low, the shots will include those moments of bad seeing. So in this case I just ran out of time. Still I am really pleased; that is my first f20 shot and I will practice again tomorrow morning. I want to use the 3x televue that I bought 2 weeks ago and that will give me f30. Double that size again. Need very good seeing for that though.
