After about 20 hours of data crunching in RegiStax, my animation is finally complete!

The animation starts at 11.00 pm and finishes at 3.09 am. The moon closer to the equator is Io, and the one at the bottom closer to Jupiter's south pole is Ganymede. Ganymede also transits over the Great Red Spot... "action packed" according to Clayton/Rob
The seeing varied from none (total cloud cover) to pretty good. There was only "pretty good" seeing for just over 20 mins during the entire evening
Each frame was produced with identical settings by stacking ~ 2 minutes of video taken at ~ 10 minute intervals. Here's the raw 2 minute video clip with the best seeing of the evening:
