Aug 3rd, First GRS - Jupiter

My 2nd attempt at capturing Jupiter with average conditions again...

Clouds cleared tonight but the seeing wasn't that great. Got to try out the new 5x Powermate

Air stream was crazy; Jupiter was wobbling out of shape constantly until it got near the meridian and the shape stayed more round with less wobbling.

Was able to catch my first GRS capture.
I think the picture would have been much better if I had a better camera than this Synta Acuter Digi. camera. the temp dropped quite quickly too.
I'm not entirely sure if the airflow I could see(Jupiter wobbling out of shape) was airflow in the angle of the sky; or air flowing around the mirror/tube.

Not exactly sure how to process that well,..constructive criticism is welcome.
