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
