Jupiter in nice seeing - 16/07/2008

Hi all

Here's the first processed image from a session last night in variable seeing, but with a couple of very steady moments. This image is from one of those good moments. I'm not sure the rest will be as good, but at least I got one. Unfortunately the GRS has already finished transiting a few hours before (always the way).

The seeing started deteriorating at around 12:15am local time when the temperature dropped 2deg in 10 minutes. I could've turned my active cooling back on, but Jupiter would've gone behind a tree in 30 minutes anyway so I called it a night.

12" newt on EQ6, DMK21AU04 + 5x powermate.

Thanks for looking.
