Had another go at Jupiter this morning, there was a GRS transit and Red Jr to be grabbed. Canberra is having a run of still evenings with no cloud, and the seeing is hovering around the 8/10 mark, good enough for me to get some nice results.

One thing that's frustrating when the seeing is variable - I might get a good run on the red channel and then the green and blue go bad, and so the resulting colour image looks bad. I'll show you what I mean - image #1 is just the RED channel from one of the runs this morning, and compare it to the colour images that follow - you'd never guess but the right hand colour images uses this as its red channel, the green and blue were pretty bad and bring down the quality of the final result.

This red channel image might be my best Jupiter image yet.
