Second decent night in a row. Same as the night before, the skies grew steadier as the night progressed...but Jupiter also continued to rise in altitude. Peaked at 60o. After years of imaging at 20-35, I'm loving 50+ here in the north. Just need to get a few more clear nights. Snow and freezing rain all day today...

 

 Here's the best 5 WinJupos combos. Clouds and flurries crept in just before the red spot was front and center.

Any chance for a full-scale rotation in 16-bit color? laugh.gif

That will take a little work. Perhaps this weekend.

Sweet! Something to look forward to. It's a labor of love, after all! wink.gif

P.S. 16-bit per channel might be overkill…

I just realized I mislabeled these images...and the thread title. They were taken Dec 4th local time, but it was Dec 5th in UT.
