I recorded a lot of data on the night of April 13, here are two images processed so far, including a shadow and transit of Io.

Capture: 50 seconds each channel in R,G,B, Astronomik Type II dichroic filters
Scope: http://www.acquerra.com.au/astro/lexx.html

I particularly like the fine yellow and blue streams flowing up to and around the GRS...

Excellent work, Anthony!

What is the elevation of Jupiter at the meridian from you location? With the various obstructions at 24 degrees from my backyard I have about 15 minutes to grab a picture... smile

Here is one more image from this session, with more care in the processing I think this is the best image of Jupiter I've managed so far.
