Seeing was reasonably good for a short while this morning around 2000UT (6am local time).

Items of note are the very pale Oval BA with the dark jetstream material on one side, and a small red storm and white storm on the other. The white storm is particularly visible in the blue channel. There are a few intense red storms in the NPR as well as a bright white rift in the NEB.

A wonderful capture Anthony! I find that loop of jetstream material particurly interesting! Anthony I am considering getting a one shot colour cam like the imaging source USB just because with my atl/az scope for Jupiter its too much of a race to get all the RGB channels. Do you think I will take a big hit in terms of resolving power??

cheers
