I think I posted this in the wrong forum, so I'll correct myself and put it here where it should be!
This is my latest Jupiter image from Saturday night when there was some brief clearing of the Seattle Nebula and I could see the sky. This is th first time I've been able to resolve some of those white spot storms on the planet. I've been at this for about 4 years, and finally getting something really good, even though this is just the "boring" side of the planet.
The GRS was rotating into view, but the clouds returned before I got a chance to image it. Argh!

Well done Tom! Nice detail captured! wink

Hint: next time bring down your Gain a lil' bit, as you can see here, the center of the planet is getting overexposed... wink

Thanks for sharing, and keep it up! 8)
