Thanks Lester, look forward to some Jups from you to follow up on the most excellent work you produced last apparition.

Thanks John, it is very low at the moment. I have been using a 7 day 24 hr programmable timer to run my Peltier cooling system from 3:30am CST to 4:30am CST. I hit the deck at 4:30am CST and by the time I have my cameras connected I can just bring my scope to bear on Jupiter with my tube not that far from horizontal. I am capturing data by about 5:30am CST but it seems to get much steadier as Jup climbs to approx 30 degrees alt but that is so close to Sunrise that the sky is becoming very bright.
