Although not perfect, I'm pretty happy with it. Especially considering it's only the second time I've tried to image Lupiter

Comments and suggestions appreciated

Thanks Guys!! I'm pretty pleased with it. Focus is still a little soft but practice makes perfect. Seeing was about a 3/5 with Transp about 7/10 so I know I can do better.

Might I suggest that you run avi again through registax3 and do the RGB shift on estimate. I think you will find more detail will come of it.

Yes focus is a little soft and I must say that I find it always hard to get that sweet spot. Focusing with a hartman maks is a good thing but it never gets it completely sharp. You always need to give it that final tweek.

Keep trying, you are well on your way to a great shot.
