    More of the King

    I was mostly out testing last night but ended up with good seeing (8 or 9).  This is from a little earlier than max altitude but I had started it last night so I finished it first.

    OK, one more from this night.  Jupiter was near 38 degrees altitude - about the limit for me.  This is probably as good a night as I'll have for a while...

    Nice detail in both images.

    You may want to compare the color of the second image w/ the first, there seems to be a bit of a red color cast on that second one.

     Really nice images - thanks for posting them as Jupiter is poorly located for the UK at the moment ....

    Re: More of the King

    You're welcome. 

     

    I think I removed most of the extra red from this one.  It's a bad tendency that I have...  Thanks for pointing it out!

    Great images Alphajuno. It's good to see you guys getting out there and capturing Jupiter, for those of us who aren't getting the opportunity. Keep the images coming!
