The recent SED's outburst was certainly of a stop start, stuttering nature. The SED's have stopped for now but I was able to image the optical counterpart to them last night. Imaged the target region in poor seeing. Have resolved 2 bright spots of interest.
The spots come up in R, RGB & 742nm IR and appear in consecutive data sets captured over the 70 min session.
I have R, RGB & 742nm IR animations that all resolve these two features. They are best seen in R, Note: the images in the R animation have been more heavily processed to better resolve the bright spots.
I have measured the positions of both bright spots in WinJUPOS to be at Lat +47.8 L3 87.1 and Lat +57.3 L3 74.1.
Earlier this evening I received verification that the storm (bright spot) at Lat +47.8 L3 87.1 in this data is the storm. With an ounce of luck the SED's will fire up again shortly.
There's also 2 spots that look like moons in the animation putting in an appearance in one frame, Trevor, although I suspect one dot is a reflection or artifact as they are very close together
Asi, could well be a moon or two in there, I seem to recall when rotating my filter wheel that the L channel at full resolution showed several moons in the field. I captured with ROI of 640 x 480 and with the gain & exposure for R, G & B I never really noticed any moons but then I was concentrating on the Nth polar region of the planet.
Hi Mark, nothing has happened to my Flea3. Anthony shared some side by side testing with me comparing the Flea3 & ASI120MM, the reduced noise in each frame is what grabbed my attention. I have had the ASI120MM for a couple of months but due to the smaller pixels have been waiting on a Seibert 3x modular Barlow which gives me the same image scale as the Flea3 but at F16.7 rather than the F23.7 of the Flea3 with 5x PM. The Flea3 is more sensitive into the IR but the ASI is better in visible wavelengths. I am running at overall higher frame rates with less gain with the ASI. While the IR is not as good as the Flea3 it is not that bad either, I look forward to some good seeing to really test it out.
