Description

Have you ever wanted to see what Jupiter looked like through some forest fire smoke? Well, now is your chance!

As an added bonus, you can see what an Io transit looks like through a botched ADC setup! In my defence, I had just gotten my second vaccine dose and it hit like a freight train during the recording session.

Once upon a time, I saw a beautiful Jupiter by another member here with an RC scope: https://www.astrobin.com/tfagbj/?nc=collection

It instantly became my favourite image of Jupiter and I've been chasing that dragon ever since with my RC8.

I think I am going to have to go mono for planetary. The OSC is so bad I can see the bayer matrix grid-lines on fire capture. Plus, it wouldnt break the bank like a certain mono DSO setup I was eyeing. Also good lord, the focusing distance!

Obviously not my best work but ya know, half the battle is sharing progress with the rest of you.
