Description

First Jupiters, with obvious improvements needed. Conditions on 25 August and 4 September were decent for New England, where the jet stream is more or less perpetually parked over us. Seeing 3-3.5 and transparency 3-4 out of 5.Next steps, to deploy an ADC, as Jupiter at my latitude is at altitude of 28 degrees at best.

Io and Europa appear at top, Ganymede near bottom. Best 780 of 5,200 frames at 28 FPS at full-frame for 180 seconds.  FL = 2,600.
