Here is a series from May 20. I could not get the detail I wanted using the original image scale, so reduced to 50%.

My eyeglass prescription has expired so I might have taken the processing a little too far. Comments welcome.

Details:
10" LX200 GPS, Alt/Az, 2x Barlow (about f/25)
Philips ToUCam Pro II
Processed using Registax and MS Digital Image Suite
Various exposure/camera settings, 400-600 frames (too much messing around with settings - doh!).

These pix are REALLY cool when you use the "crossed eyes" trick! Nice work!

Hi Peter -

A very nice set of spots! The processing looks fine except for a little clipping around the edge of the disk creating a scallopped look to the planet limb in some images. This might have come from applying too much contrast to the background sky? The disk contrast and colors look very good to my eye.
