Jupiter, morning of April 19th

Hi All,

Set out to capture my first Jupiter images for this apparition this morning. Was up at 4:30 am CST and started imaging at 5:13 am CST with Jupiter at an alt of 19 degrees. The whole session was effected to varying degrees by high alt Cirrus. My final capture was at 5:23 am CST as the cloud more or less obscured Jupiter from view.

I have rated the seeing at 4/10 but if the cloud had cleared it would have been quite good, the image was mostly quite steady but the cloud wafting through played havoc with the signal on my histogram.

Captured 3 sets of RGB's, have attached the best which has Europa in transit with Io out to the East. Have also attached an animation of the 3 RGB's.

Looking forward to some good seeing over the next few days.

Thanks for Looking.
Regards
Trevor
