Another kick in the teeth jupiter

Seeing was not good on this night, 13th April so about 11 days ago now.. only just got around to finishing the process.

I guess it's no coincidence that when the seeing is bad there's no rush to process the rubbish Barely better than a kick in the teeth, this one is

Ganymede, Ganymede shadow transit, GRS and Red Jr is nothing to sneeze at, but the jetstream washed away all fine detail.

Thanks for looking.

you'll have no teeth left soon Mike at this rate. Ah, but I remember this night and this particular view well. Was lucky it was one night recently where the seeing really came good and no cloud. Sorry we pushed the jetstream south to you Mike

The bar is getting higher and higher, I can remember when a shot that good would be rarely taken by the proffessional telescopes and never an amateur. No one wants to capture less with their next shot.

Mike your standard is very high, which makes some of us others want to improve also. Thanks for the challenge.
