Jupiter in perfect seeing, August 30

Last night was one to remember for me - I got to see what Jupiter must look like from space... on a scale of 1 to 10 this seeing was a 12...

Another 350Gb of data recorded over 4 hours... the best seeing lasted about an hour around 2am, I *definitely* need a larger mirror. sigh.

Here is one image from the period of best seeing ... the processing doesn't do justice to the raw video, I'll be coming back to do this properly later on when I'm not working from a laptop.

You can see the GRS setting at lower right, and lots of lovely detail, all of this was sharply defined in the raw video. I've also left this image a bit brighter than my last few, I hope this is an improvement.

cheers, Bird
