Thumbs up Jupiter in excellent seeing - 9th May UT

Hi all

Here's another two images from an excellent session on the 9th May UT, when the seeing was excellent across most of Australia.

However I had very poor transparency at my location, with a very thick fog cutting my histogram to shreds - I had to image at 15fps and even then the histogram was less than 50% full.

The images are just over an hour apart. The second image was taken in slightly better seeing, but transparency was even less at that time so the image is noisier as I had less frames to work with.

Taken with my 12" newt and DMK21AU04. North is up.
