Jupiter + GRS + Oval BA + LRS - Monday 17th March

Hi all

Attached are 3 images spanning a 60 minute session on Monday morning, 17th March local time. The GRS started at the CM, and the Oval BA and new LRS rotated into view over the next hour.

Seeing was quite good, but local fog cut the transparency in half and I had to capture at 15fps.

The altitude reached about 54deg by the end of the session, and is climbing every day. Still yet to have the "excellent" morning delivering the best resolution and detail, but as Jupiter keeps climbing i'm hoping it will come soon.

Thanks for looking.

A nice trio for St Patrick’s Day Mike – well done. A lot of new features to my eyes and some I have simply forgotten about; must brush up on my Jupiter “geography”.

Cheers

Dennis
