It’s been over a year since I did any planetary imaging, but finally got a chance for Jupiter this week. Unfortunately, the seeing wasn’t so good. As a result, the images making up this animation are pretty soft.
Update: 11-25-23
I found additional video that I thought I had lost. Here is another 38 minutes of animation that starts with the last frame of the animation above. It looks like the seeing improved a little for this sequence.
