July 29th Jup GRS, Ganymede+shadow & Wesley Impact

Hi All,
Was only able to capture 2, R channel avi's before the cloud totally ruined my night. With the jetstream no longer an issue, the live feed to my laptop looked just great, but with the cloud getting ever denser my histogram made regular quite violent swings.

This image was captured at 13:12 UTC with the Wesley Impact site only just having rotated into view. It has become quite elongated and even though not positioned optimally in this image, clearly shows a change in the morphology of the trialling edge of the impact region, which is noticeably spreading out wider.

I continued to track Jupiter through the cloud until 1:30 am CST in the vain hope that a hole would appear for long enough to get a capture with the impact region near the CM. The live image from my DMK for the image that I have posted, other than when cloud wafted through, was the cleanest live data I have ever seen on Jupiter.

I am most pleased with how well resolved Ganymede and its shadow are in this image.

Looking forward to the next few days when the weather should get progressively better.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor

Nice one Trevor!

I spent the best part of an hour watching Ganymede's shadow crossing Jupiter last night - it looked great!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks Bird, have been following with great interest your efforts in getting even more from your data. Although not in your league I too have been experimenting. Check out the repro of this image I have just added to this thread.

Hi All,

Just finished a repro of the data from the image posted to start this thread. I was inspired by the work Bird has been doing to extract even more from his most excellent data.

Regards
Trevor
