Jupiter 19th Dec. 2012

Well it was clear again tonight, but that's about all that can be said. Seeing was pretty chaotic most of the time.

Still an OK image John. Seems these new cameras allow for reasonable results even under poor conditions. Thank goodness, as we can use all the help we can get for Jupiter for the next few seasons.

I'm hopeful of getting a chance to image Jupiter this evening. The weather prediction is looking promising.

Never a truer statement uttered, Ivan. Bottom line is I wouldn't have received a positive (postable) result if it weren't for the new 618 camera, or Autostakkert for that matter.

G'luck for this evening!

that is nice Asi. Now that the worst of the jet has broken up, it seems that there are occasional windows of reasonable seeing - much better than blanket bad seeing. Have to agree with your praise of the new cams - I am typically only keeping ~15% of frames lately, so having a high framerate is essential. regards Ray

Thanks Ray. Extremely random up here right now as far as seeing goes but you are dead right in stating it's no longer blanket bad seeing. I've only been stacking 1500-1750 frames on my last few imaging runs.

Still a nice result, John. Jupiter is nearly hopeless from my place-it just skims across the roof of my house, and the heat from the roof tiles totally destroys the seeing

Too bad John
Processing looks nice and the detail is clearly visible behind the murk

Do we have a low Jupiter this time around - I have not paid too much attention but I suspect so. Great to see images anyway - thanks.

Thanks guys.

Yes Matt, fairly low for us in the SH this apparition. I am somewhat lucky to have it @ 44 degrees here in QLD though.
