Hi everyone!

1st off thanks for all the encouraging comments on my last image!
Not sure if I want to post after Rolandos superb image ;>)
but I will anyway. Seeing was an iffy 6/10, Jupiter was 39 degrees up at 11:07 EST. Scope was my 18" Starmaster and I used a Toucam with 5X's barlow. The stack is 111 handpicked in Reg2, processed in Images Plus. I used 0% gain, 0% gamma, 100% sat, and about 50% bright, 5 fps 2 min avi.

cheers

Mike Wirths

A very fine image indeed! Lot's of wispy blue festoons.
