Jup Aug 26th, GRS + Wesley Impact + 3hr 40min animation

Hi All,

The weather looked great last night, captured 12 sets of R, G, & B avi's, every 20 min's from 10:40 pm to 2:20 am CST. The seeing was mostly average at about 6/10 but there were periods that were significantly better at about 7.5/10.

I have posted 4 of my RGB's, the 4th one being captured in significantly better seeing. There is heaps of detail to see and the Wesley impact still survives, albeit, very tenuously.

My animation of the whole session represents 3hrs 40 mins of Jupiter's rotation and clearly demonstrates the variability of the seeing.
Note: the animation is just over 1Mb.

As usual all avi's were captured with a 16" F4.5 Newt on a very heavy GEM fitted with an Anssen Technologies dual axis drive & drive corrector and a JMI Moto Focus & Peltier cooler, a DMK 21AU04.AS CCD with an Orion filter wheel and Astronomik Type II RGB filters and a 3x TV Barlow working at 5.3x.

Have not had much sleep with capturing and processing 36 avi's so have cut a few corners with them to get them out of the way before tonights imaging session, which thankfully will be much earlier in the night.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
