Well I captured Jupiter this morning, both digitally and using my eyeballs. The GRS was close to setting at the time I was up (about 4:30am).
Jupiter was (as always!) a magnificent sight, especially because the seeing was very good! It's the first time I've seen her this apparition and it's already very large! It was only at 30° alt when I was capturing, but I could still plainly make out the setting GRS, as well as a large blue barge crossing the meridian. Callisto was close to the planet, while the other 3 moons were in a line off to the right (in my eyeball view).
I'm *really* looking forward to the upcoming Jupiter opposition, to think how large it is already and how large it's going to get! And at 80° altitude!
Had an amazing night with the planets, Saturn was beautiful at 1:00am - very crisp and calm.
Anyway, got some great avi's and will spend some time today processing them!
