Jupiter in the evening of Sat 15 Jun 2019 AEST.

Decided to catch the planet this weekend while it is still at its closest. Was disappointed with the weather over past couple of weeks (including opposition night on the 10th) and my attempts to image gas giant in poor conditions. This time though seeing was near perfect which allowed me to fine tune collimation and record good quality data. This effort is from Saturday night just before the fog rolled in at 10pm LT, yet to crunch through Friday SERs.

Despite ordinary jetstream forecast I was amazed how much detail was present on a live FireCapture feed. With temperature dropping rapidly and high humidity all round I have kept AstroZap heater going at maximum to avoid corrector plate dew - Telrad cover was completely wet near the end of the session. Fog did not lift for the GRS transit but pretty happy to get this view of Oval BA hemisphere.

Looking at these results compared to what I was achieving lately I have a strong suspicion that my optics were not properly aligned in May. I tweaked the collimation on Friday so it should hold for a while hopefully.. Rig operation is semi automated now and I am controlling the mount from indoors but one thing that I still need to enable is FireCapture autotracking - Skyris does not have autoguider port so thinking of purchasing a USBST4 converter.. not sure how successful this will be in AltAz, will see.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
