Description

Observed GRS transit on Friday evening ahead of Christmas weekend.  Reasonable seeing persisted for about half an hour after sunset allowing me to record enough data for this view.  Jupiter was only 3° away from the waxing gibbous Moon in a still fairly bright dusk sky at 8:36 pm AEDT.

Few outbreaks can be seen in the NEB and in the SEB ahead of the storm.  Some detail is also visible inside the GRS itself, less so in polar latitudes.  The planet only clears my roof by 15° during peak elevation, and heat plumes are plentiful this time of year.  Still have additional datasets to process but I lowered my expectations based on this result.  Derotation of approx. 6000 frames.
