Good seeing in Adelaide NOW -- Jupiter
If you are in Adelaide, now would be a good time to have a look at Jupiter.
Here's what my C6 and DMK21AU04 captured just now. Sorry, mono only.

Great image mate. Alas my neq6pro is giving me the hell so I'm going to have to leave Jupiter till after Christmas.

Checked but the seeing degraded by the time I got the mirror cold and ready. Will be going to bed shortly. Thanks for the heads up though.

Good stuff Ivan, plenty of detail there, very nice effort for a 6" aperture.

Pretty good seeing at the moment. The wind is the problem though (down Noarlunga way anyway)

Hmm, very interesting Dan. I've just come in after packing up because the seeing was terrible here.

True, I'm on SN2011iv, and getting FWHM of 2.6 px, which is pretty good. Usual is around 4.5, bad seeing is around 9!
