It’s amazing the difference good seeing and a clean corrector plate makes (Baader Wonder Fluid!). Again, low jetstream overhead. Definitely my best Jupiter so far.

Markarian2017-01-31T10:52:43+00:0028 November 2012|  Poor seeing but a better set of codecs chosen this time and easier processing as a result.
