Hi all

Seeing was good, peaking with a solid 7/10 just before 6am on Tuesday morning. This is the best image from the session, when Jupiter was at 42deg altitude.

Taken at 30fps, 55 s each channel. Though at 1/30s exposure the histogram is just over half full in R and G, and at about half in B. I really need it to get brighter and higher, or have a bigger mirror, more sensitive camera, etc The lack of dynamic range with a slightly underexposed histogram makes processing much more difficult.

Approx 500 frames stacked for each channel.

Thanks for looking.

Good work this low, especially the blue composit. Just out of curiosity, are there any specialized filters for JUpiter in the near UV range?

Kind regards
Matt

Hi Mike, Another great shot of the gas giant. Lots of details of the cloud structures.
