Subject: Been a while!
I needed to contribute something, since it's been so long...
I shot Jupiter last night (May 22nd '06), seeing was terrible. Kicking myself for not imaging
last Friday. I was at a friends house observing and had the best skies I've EVER seen. Please
Lord, give me a second chance!
Well, with the normal mediocre MN skies...
My shot of Juipter, Red Spot (can make out Red Jr if you know right where to look) and Io's
Shadow.

I used Keith's Image Stacker to pick and choose (need to pay him now that I know how to
use his software) and Photoshop for image reduction.
The image is in the file section, called: Jupiter_06_05_22_232611.jpg
If you notice any settings that I should change, please let me know.

PS. I have a smudge on my IR filter. How do I clean that? Better to buy a new filter? Thanks
for the help.
