Hi all
I had some nice clear skies on the night of the 14th August, 2009 – when Jupiter was at opposition for the 2009 season.
Unfortunately the seeing conditions were below average, but luckily they steadied for a few minutes just before midnight – long enough for me to capture just one run in slightly above average conditions, before the seeing turned bad again.
Each channel was recorded for 48 seconds, and 600 frames from each were used to make the final RGB image.
Continuing to hope for clear and steady skies - it's just not coming this year yet.

Thanks for looking.
