JUPITER 25 Feb - Europa Shadow, Europa and Io

Hi All, hardly worth posting this after seeing Mike's fantastic effort from this morning, but I guess you got to see mediocre to recognise greatness

I'm confused about the results I'm getting on Jupiter. The great seeing I got on the 18th with the Mewlon 180 didn't really show itself till processing, whearas with the C9.25 this morning I thought conditions were quite good, but just didn't come out "in the wash" Looking critically at the avi's from this morning seeing obviously wasn't as steady as I'd originally thought, but I think I'm getting some jitter from the RA drive as well. I'm still getting Onion Rings with the c9.25 and I'm convinced it's NOT underexposure (I've tried the full range) Focus may be a tad off, but I fiddled with it a lot between the 10 odd avis and it hasn't much changed the result of any so must conclude more seeing....

I'd like to get one morning with the C9.25 when I wasn't battling thin cloud and dew to work out what's going on but I just haven't been able to get it all together yet.

Anyway, below is the best 2 of a very mediocre run.
