I love the detail in the second image, obviously the seeing was quite variable but the detail in the second image is very good, the southern equatorial bands are well defined and the southern equatorial band zone is quite distinct as is the southern tropical zone and possibly the southern temperate band. It is great to see you posting some of your "R" channel images and at 2 x, very detailed indeed.

Thanks Trevor - it's unfortunate that the green and blue channels weren't as sharp.
With the bad seeing and clouds, going back to the 2x barlow and red channel was all I could do - but at least I was able to document this rare event.

Looking forward to trying again in the next weeks.
