Jupiter and Ganymede Oct 9
Seeing was much better than it has been - not as good as the jetstream predictions suggested, but worth persevering with. The Jupiter signal was quite good in R, but there was no fine detail in G and B, so the image is a bit soft and noisy, even for an 8 inch aperture. At some stage, will up the image scale to see if the optics can produce more detail - if the jetstream ever calms down.
However, Ganymede made up for any Jupiter limitations. A super-resolution stack using only red data shows convincing surface structure, something I have not been able to record before.
thanks for looking
