Very nice, Jim. Are you using a monochrome PGR camera in 16 bit mode? I haven't found an advantage on Jupiter to use the greater bit depth with the corresponding offset in slower frame rate, though in my 10", I can just manage 30fps in 8 bit mode with the Flea3. I sat outside a little earlier than you last night. The seeing was moderately good I think... seemed to go downhill around 2:00am local time so I went to bed.


all the best,

Alan
