Jupiter from this morning, 24th April

[iceman (Mike)]

First clear morning in a week, finally able to image Jupiter again. I was hoping for nice seeing as fog was predicted and one of the coolest mornings so far leading into Winter.

The seeing was only average though, slightly better than it has been lately which is an encouraging sign. I caught the tail end of the GRS in the first image and the NEB outbreak rising in the 2nd image.

The data was captured at 30fps for 45 seconds in each channel. Approx 350 frames from each channel were stacked, and was processed in Registax, AstraImage and Photoshop.

More unsettled weather with a southerly change predicted for the next few days so not sure when the next opportunity to image will be. Just gotta keep trying!

Thanks for looking.

Conditions will have to improve soon, surely.

Yes, just gotta keep trying, all the best Mike.

Thanks Mike -

At least you're getting something... not much happening here at the moment.

cheers, Bird

Mike, it will make the images you get, when the seeing improves even more satisfying.

Cheers

I admire your dedication - up in the wee hours to capture these amazing views. You must have a good alarm clock!

Your shots reminds me of the national geographics years ago with the early voyager jupiter images.

Who would have thought then it would be possible to produce something like this from the back garden. Fantastic!

Well done Mike
