Thanks very much John, there are 3 red spots in these images, oval BA, the GRS and the LRS in the NNTrZ. Yep, love the IR images but I would never use IR with R or substitute IR for R with Jupiter. My images are used for scientific evaluation and the RGB is a true representaion of the planet, with a synthetic G or R the image might look esthetically better but it is not a true representaion of the planet. There is a program that is used by the professionals that can create false colour from a FIT file but that is mainly used with deep sky images to highlight particular regions within the image. Love seeing contrails that just stay there, means I am in for a bonza night of imaging.

Goes to show how 700km can make a huge difference.
Thanks very much Paul, I think our geopraphic locations make for considerable differences on a day to day basis, the previous night you made an excellent image but up here the seeing was hopeless. I hope you get good conditions over the weekend and look forward to seeing what you do with it.
