Default Jupiter + 3 red spots - 9th April UT

Hi all

First morning of good seeing in about 3 weeks, revealed Jupiter with the GRS and white oval next to it (hopefully about to be consumed), and Red Jr and the LRS.

Here's 3 images over about a frustrating hour, as it was my first session since returning from SPSP so I hadn't polar aligned, meaning Jupiter was drifting off the FOV quickly, IC Capture crashed on me twice, and the dew was so heavy it was dripping off the trees onto me (and the laptop) like rain.

Anyway good to be out amongst it again.
