Here's an image of Jupiter from this morning, taken from just outside our motel room where Leisa & I are staying in Exmouth WA. The seeing was pretty good for this run. I'll be here with the scope until the end of September, using my laptop for imaging and processing...
Thanks guys, I'm hoping for much better seeing to come :-) It got very windy this afternoon but now it's dead calm again and the seeing looks very good for tonight, fingers crossed..
One of, if not the best you've posted to date. This is not far from looking at an HST or flyby shot. Quite amazing really. Just googled Exmouth. It's right on the coast. Isn't the ocean proximity a problem for seeing. I thought inland was better for astro? Obviously not?
Exmouth is normally dry as a bone. The wind there is usually an easterly, except in the afternoons, especially at this time of year. That's why the skies are so good there.
You should see them out Meeka' or Wiluna way. Get away from the town and the mine (at Wiluna) and they're even better
Desert skies...mind you at this time of year it gets pretty damn cold!!!!
Anthony and I had thoughts that with the laminair flow off the ocean and the height just above the jet stream line it ought to have good seeing on most nights. Wind excepted of course.

...though it comes a bit late - I just wanna chime in with congrats on this master-piece of jupiter image! certainly one of the very best I have seen in the entire web so far.
