That's really pretty good given the low elevation of Jupiter and the skies we're getting these days, where "moist" seems to be a bit of an understatement! Certainly I'd have to cast my mind back to about 2004 when Jupiter was *much* higher up to remember any sight like that!
Paul.

Yeah, evenings have been a real disappointment here lately, & Jupiter is just a fuzzball. I've about given up on him for this year; looking forward to next year's apparition, at a much better altitude!

Hello Brian and Paul, The original pic had a lot of false colour at the edges, no doubt due to atmospheric effects, but I remember Brian mentioning the RGB align feature in Registax, and it worked well in this case. Regards, Virgo

Clear yesterday evening and the seeing didn't seem to be too awful so I decided to have one last go at Jupiter. Not very successful, however, only the infra-red image contains significant detail 2009 Nov 10, 1939 UT. Celestron CPC1100, prime focus, Astronomik Planet Pro 742nm infra-red pass filter, Imaging Source DMK41 camera. CM(I) = 341 CM(II) = 199 Transparency good, seeing bad, planet's altitude 16.7 degrees. I'm not altogether happy with the processing of this but it doesn't seem worthwhile spending much time on. Next year Jupiter will be nearly 15 degrees higher
