Jupiter Aug 7th, Images + high res 2hr 40 min animation

Hi All, Imaged Jupiter from 14:01 to 16:42 UTC.
The seeing was good, varying between 6 to 7 / 10 for the entire session.

The Bird Strike appears to have three distinct sections or knots to it and has stretched out considerably. It is well resolved in my R channel images.

My animation has 10 R channel images in it of quite high resolution. I think this is the best data I have used for an animation of the Bird Strike. The animation shows the structure of the evolving impact region very nicely and the three distinct knots of material within it can be clearly seen.

I have also posted some of the individual R channel images and a couple of RGB's, I probably should have put more time into the processing of the RGB's but I really just run out of time, perhaps when this impact site is no longer visible I will have another go at it.

Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
