Jupiter Nov 18th in very good seeing.

Hi All,

What a difference a day makes. Nov 17th was clear but the seeing was unusally bad for my area but Nov 18th was a real pearler.

Imaged Jupiter last night in very good seeing. I just knew it would be a good night, earlier in the day I was at my Lawn Bowls Club and the sky was just such a very deep blue. A jet passed overhead at about 30,000ft and the con trail just stayed there for about half an hour without distorting at all.

Have attached 4 RGB & 4 807nm IR images the seeing for the first 3 data sets ( just under 2 hrs) was brilliant and I would estimate it at about 8 to 8.5/10. My final capture, which was at a lower alt over the roof of my neighbors house was not quite as good. I think more the result of heat coming off of the building than a general drop off in the intrinsic seeing level.

Thanks for looking.

Regards
Trevor
