Hi All,
Had an interesting night Sept 5th imaging Jupiter. I planed to capture a set of R, G & B avi’s ever 20 degrees in longitude CMII. At the CMII region this was about every 33 minutes.
Was setup relatively early at 7:30 pm CST but discovered that there was a large foreign object in the middle of Jupiter, obviously some crap on my CCD. I have an Orion lens cleaning kit and very carefully cleaned the CCD, managed to shift the offending impediment but in doing so it had pups and now there was half a dozen smaller spots on my CCD. Went through my cleaning process several more times, very gently wiping lens tissues across the CCD, one wipe and then a new tissue. This cleaned my CCD better than it ever has been, even from new, but then, although having no debris on any part of the CCD, I could see lines across my Jupiter image. Pulled it out again and very gently wiped the CCD at right angle to the previous direct that I had wiped initially. At last my CCD was squeaky clean, it only took about an hour.
The seeing for this imaging session of 4hrs 25min’s varied considerably, my first capture at 10:43 UTC 40 degrees CMII longitude, still with the wipe marks on my CCD, was in good seeing of 6/10. The seeing steadily improved and for my next capture at 11:16 UTC 60 degrees CMII longitude and was very good at least 7 ½ / 10. For my next two captures the seeing dropped off progressively over that hour back to about 6 / 10.
For my final 2 hours incorporating my final 4 sets of RGB’s the seeing had dropped off to no better than 5. This was extremely disappointing as my last 2 sets of RGB’s covered the region of the Wesley Impact.
I have posted here the first four sets of RGB’s, including the set taken with the wipe marks on my CCD. Thought that image may be of interest. The second of these images was from excellent data. There is a wealth of detail in these images, some extremely interesting structures and detail within the NEB, North Equatorial Belt.
Have also posted a link to an animation from the entire 4hr 25min session. It is a shame the seeing dropped off to such an extent.

Thanks for looking.
