Jupiter from last night, May 30. It was very breezy, heck...it was windy. The image was struggling to stay in the FOV. I didn't realize how much torque the wind would cause on a C 9.25. I should find a wind break of some sort for these evenings. Otherwise, the seeing wasn't terribly bad for a day that reached 100 degrees. (It's going to hit 105 today!!) cwy

Hi Paul,

Another very good image , (wow 105 degrees) here in Oklahoma its not that hot but I have problems with
big temperature drops, on most evenings it will drop
15 to 20 degrees in three hours or less.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Excellent image Paul, regardless of the wind.
