Thanks very much Ivan, there is considerable interest by many planetary physicists regarding the current chaotic activity on Jupiter. Thus far there has only been one team, that I know of, awarded time to image it with a major telescope (NASA's IRTF in Hawaii) and that data was 5 micron thermal data. They are relying on amateur visible light data in the main, to follow the progress of this evolving state of activity.

Thanks very much Paul, as you well know it does require a considerable time commitment to do this. I am very fortunate that I am retired and can put the effort in. Must say that at the moment, reckon I am running on just about empty but there is a change in the weather coming next week and I just cant waste the clear sky and reasonable seeing that is currently over Broken Hill. I very much admire your deep sky work and would love to be able to produce stuff like that, back in 2008 I even lashed out on a 450D with that in mind. Problem is, if I have clear sky and Saturn or Jove are about, I have this compulsion to image them. Cheryl says I am obsessed, reckon she's spot on.
