Subject: jupiter with shadow in transit


Hi -


Here's a Jupiter from last weekend - captured in good seeing but poor tranparency which 

made the image quite hard to process.

Even at 66ms exposure I needed heavy gain - the frames were noisy and low in contrast. 

Still, some good detail is seen. Jupiter is drifting upward in the sky - now at 33 degrees 

elevation as it passes the meridian - woo hoo!!


cheers-

Alan
