Jupiter Aug 29th RGB & hi res IR of merger

Hi ALL,

Was able to image the two white ovals in the NEB again last night. I have now had 4 straight nights of capturing data and tonight is also looking good.

The seeing for this session was about 6/10 and I have 3 RGB's of the ovals that are fair, however my trusty 807nm IR Planet Killer has produced some very hi res images from this session.

I have attached 3 RGB's and 3 807nm IR images, in each image I have a 130% resized inset of the ovals.
In the hi res IR images the morphology of these dancing ovals can be seen to have changed considerably since the most excellent images of Birds from Aug 28th. The two ovals are much more elongated, however there is still a very fine but well defined line to be seen, which is the border between them.

Note also the shadow transit of Calisto near the Sth pole, not sure if I can recall seeing a shadow transit so close to the pole previously.


Thanks for looking.

Regards
Trevor
