Default Jupiter + GRS + Oval BA + LRS - 16th March UT

Hi all

Attached are 3 images spanning a 60 minute session on Monday morning, 17th March local time. The GRS started at the CM, and the Oval BA and new LRS rotated into view over the next hour.

Seeing was quite good, but local fog cut the transparency in half and I had to capture at 15fps.

The altitude reached about 54deg by the end of the session, and is climbing every day. Still yet to have the "excellent" morning delivering the best resolution and detail, but as Jupiter keeps climbing i'm hoping it will come soon.

Thanks for looking.

Nice planetary shots. Only a couple more years, and we'll have 50 degs on Jupiter in NA, until then, it's nice to see that someone has a good view of the planet.
