Jupiter, 25th July

This image is from Wednesday night, 25th July at approx 7:21pm. Jupiter was at 72° altitude and the seeing was threatening to be good, but passing clouds kept disturbing the conditions and making Jupiter wobble around.

The clouds cleared about an hour later and the seeing probably would've been better (as Anthony experienced!) but once Jupiter heads into the West sky I can't image it any more due to trees.

As a result of the average seeing, the fine details are lost as a blur. The SEB outbreak fills these longitudes following the GRS. Io can be seen as a bright-ish patch on the NEB, about 1/3 of the way in from the right edge. Io's shadow was just about to begin transit but the clouds blanketed the sky and so I was unable to capture it.

Imaged at 30fps, 350 frames stacked in each channel (out of 900-odd captured).

Thanks for looking.

Wow Mike, even if you have stacked just 350 frames you have had a great SNR!
Always good images.

Cheers, Anto
