Jupiter 11th Oct / Uranus 12th Oct

SPX350, F30.6+F9.1 with 2xPowermate, Flea3, Astrodon filters and IR742nm.

Jupiter 11th-1422hrs UT. Alt49deg.
Uranus 12th-1135hrs UT. Alt59deg.

First attempt at Jupiter in avg seeing 6/10 with scudding cloud that would not let up eventually filling the whole sky. Had trouble with my Unibrain firecard which will not work now so used a cheap $15 6pin card which seemed to work better than the Unibrain did originally.

Next day on the 12th a full moon so tried Uranus moons at F9 with Firecapture stack frame option for boosted exposure at 2sec to see if I could get Miranda but full moon made it difficult so may be possible when moon has gone.

Tried Regx6 with Jupiter as it seemed to do a better job than Regx5, tried the linked wavelets, all processed very quickly.

Thanks, John.
