Yes I too had about a half hour window before high clouds rolled in, just after 9:15 EST. It was really breezy so using a 5X's was impossible since Jupiter would not stay in the FOV. I used a 3X's televue and got a few vids between gusts. Seeing was pretty good but less than 1/4 of the frames were usable due to the wind.
Theres some weird colour fringing around the shadows which must be atmospheric dispersion, the blue channel has a strange extra blue edge. I wonder is it possible to create a artificial blue channel from the remaining G and R channels?
Scope: 18" Starmaster (tracking)
toucam, 10fps, 0 gain, 0 gamma, 1/25, 100% sat.
stacked and resampled 1.5X's n Reg 2, processed stack of 140 in Image Plus

cheers
