Jup Sept 8th in good seeing.

Hi All,

Had been checking up on the progress of the high pressure system crossing the county all day. It arrived last night and provided very good seeing.

I planned on capturing RGB's for every 20 degrees longitude CMII but as the seeing was so good and I wanted as much coverage of the Wesley Impact remnant as possible, I imaged every 10 degrees of the Impact region.

The live feed to my laptop looked great and apart from a few hiccups all went well.

I have posted 7 high res RGB's plus an animation of the last 2 1/4 hrs of my imaging session.

I have also put together a Polar Projection animation of the transit of the Wesley Impact remnant. The impact remnant is the two dark strands in the South Polar region.

Learned something new last night, it pays to pull the MotoFocus cable out of the remote hand piece when it is not in use, right in the middle of all this great seeing the cable tightened up on the focuser and shifted Jupiter out of the field of my capture screen, wont happen again.


Thanks for looking.
Regards
Trevor
