Subject: Jupiter on July 2

Now that the days are getting shorter I was able to image Jupiter at 5 AM just before full sunrise and at about 40 degree elevation.

Seeing was fair to good.  However AstroIIDC seems to have a hard time accurately ranking the sharpest frames.  Since there was the convenient shadow of Europa I was easily able to hand select the best frames but it is a very tedious operation.  Often there will be completely blurred images ranked much sharper than ones appearing a hundred images below??!!

I wonder if accuracy would be better if one were able to specify only a small area with a sharply defined feature rather than the entire planet?
