Florida has brutal humidity, but great seeing some nights.
The smooth air coming off the ocean is wonderful. I image
from my backyard, only a mile or two from the Gulf of Mexico.

That's a beauty of Jupiter. The level of detail in the belts is outstanding.
A mile from the gulf eh. What's the most southern constellation you get down there. Crux? LMC/SMC? Are they possible or do you need to be farther south.

Darren,
You can theoretically see two of the three stars in Crux,
namely Gacrux and Becrux. Gacrux is almost to 1/3 tree-top level so if you got right near the beach and took advantage of the pitch black sky to the south, then you should be able to pick it out in late May. Becrux would lie right on the horizon earlier in May as Gacrux starts to rise higher.
I would never do this because I would never expose my scope
to the salt spray from the beach. I live on the other side
of a mile-wide protected bay. There is a barrier island that
separates the bay from the open ocean. Therefore, I don't
have salt problems from my house.
Therefore, practicality dictates that I view objects 5-10
degrees higher than this because of trees and other homes.

Wonderful shot of Jupiter!
I hope you have the original AVI because I think there's still a LOT of detail hidden in there. I loaded your pic into Registax and played with the wavelet filters and I think you can get a lot more aggressive.
Cheers,
Suk

Hello Suk,
Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully I can get mine to look as nice as yours.
I still have the AVI. In fact, I took 9 AVIs that night, all
at different magnifications and camera settings. I haven't
processed the others yet.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to load it back up
and experiment with the wavelet settings.
