[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

All,

Here's my first image of Jupiter in a couple of weeks, all thanks to a
break in the clouds and fog that have settled around here lately. The
seeing was only "poor to average" for this image, but there were enough
good frames to produce a decent result. Not as nice as Pauls image from this morning :-)

This is also the first Jupiter image with a new scope, using a 14.5"
Royce conical. There's no cooling on the new scope as yet so it's at the
mercy of the ambient temperature.

Ganymede can be seen in transit, nearing the end of its passage across
the disk. A prominent red oval is also visible in the northern
hemisphere (bottom).

regards, Bird
