Jupiter from last night - 10th Sep

Hi all

Unfortunately average conditions again last night, but _just_ good enough to stay out in the cold and capture these.

Looks like the NEB outbreak has scooted past the WSZ which is prominent in both of these images. I can't seem to capture any other face of Jupiter! I can't remember the last time I saw a moon or shadow transit.

12" newt, 5x powermate, DMK21AU04.

Thanks for looking.

Well done, Mike. Nice amount of detail and kudos for braving the conditions.

The seeing definitely had an impact.

They look terrific to me !

Gee it was cold last night, I setup so I could iron-out some bugs with my system and boy did I feel cold.
Conditions were blah!, though.

Glad you got something.

We could use some of those 'average' conditions up this way.

Good to see you got some nice detail in those images Mike.

I am still hoping here for some more chances at Jupiter when the jetstream settles down.
