Jupiter from Saturday morning - 15/03

Hi all

These images were captured on Saturday morning, in fairly good seeing but very poor transparency. I was imaging DSO's over night and by the time I got the 12" on the mount, a fog had rolled in. I also missed the best of the seeing - unfortunately as the altitude rose, the seeing deteriorated and transparency got worse, with the last image of the session barely visible on the screen.

The 2nd image is a LRGB composite, which turned out better than expected. I wished I'd captured the others the same, as the Luminance channel could be captured at 30fps.

Ganymede's shadow is seen at the start of transit in the 2nd/3rd image, and the new LRS and Oval BA are setting in the first image.

Thanks for looking.
