[lepton3 (Ivan)]

Good seeing last night around midnight. Jupiter is just past opposition, so it is nice and bright, and the seeing was stable enough that I was tempted to try a 3x Barlow with my C11.

Overall it gives a softer result than the 2.5x powermate. Also interesting that the stacking artifacts are much less prominent than my last capture with the 2.5x powermate.

Io is nice and bright. And noticeably much smaller than Ganymede which I captured on the 2nd.

Two reasonable nights in one week has me feeling pretty good about this Jupiter apparition, even though the circumstances down here are pretty crummy.
