Jupiter Sept 8 UT

I don't think I can get any more from my scope in this neck of the woods. I still had no diffraction rings with a star test last night just some arcs, so perhaps a pickering 6? Doubles, my usual fair were pretty good last night although I was fighting sucker holes.

Shot with a AP140 at f30 using 4x powermate. 1200 frames processed with registax.

Kevin, a good image, but you really need at least 4/5 seeing to get a decent Jupiter at these low 30deg altitudes. Timing your avi collection around the peak height will also help. I stopped trying to image Jupiter in marginal seeing. Keep an eye on the clear sky clock and good luck catching good conditions
