Seeing was average for the altitude, with huge waves passing across the image distorting it terribly.
I'm looking forward to the end of DST so I can image Jupiter before heading to work, instead of at the moment when I can only do it on days I'm working from home or on weekends.
More here, plus a collection of other early-apparition images from Australia and the Phillipines.
A nice first set Mike. Like Anthony, its good to see that your skills haven’t gone rusty, nor your dedication dimmed for getting up and setting up in the wee hours!
Gee's Mike since you went to DSLR imaging, we hardly saw a Planet from you, your Planet stuff was so good, and this lot shows you can still do it, well done.
Interesting to see that the SEB appears to have formed into 2 very distinctly darker bands...at the SEB north and SEB south. Still the one band, but darker at the peripheries.
Might just appear that way with the seeing being not so flash and the planet being so close to the horizon...
Makes me very excited about seeing what's changed for this apparition
Hi Mike,
Jupiter time again, be nice to get back to imaging a brighter target with a faster frame rate. Shame about the seeing and low altitude but definitely something to look forward to. No doubt this, sort of, wets the appetite for what will be possible as it climbs higher.
and this lot shows you can still do it, 
well done.
