First Jupiter This Season

Well after about 6 aborted early morning looks where I get up, check the seeing and go back to bed disgruntled, I finally gave Jupiter a shot.
THis morning the seeing was about 6/10 and while not as good as I wanted, I was sick of not getting a result.
The equipment was the Takahashi Mewlon 180, with Powermate 2.5x, (so 5400mm or f30), and given the conditions this was probably stretching it.
ToUcam, using IRIS and WcCtrl to capture. 600 frames at 10 fps. Registax used about 290 of the 600 frames. Waveletting etc in Registax, and a final tweak with Photoshop.
Roll on some decent seeing.
