Description

The smoke over Denver's skies cleared somewhat and I had worked on my ten inch Newtonian mount to improve tracking.  Time to go after Jupiter as a test. 

Data:

16 videos x 2515 frames/video x 10% lucky capture frames = 4024 frames used for stacking (each exposure = 5 ms)
Frames de-rotated in WinJUPOS  and centered on 4:13 UTC 8/26/2021
filter = IR/UV blocker
seeing = 2
FL = 2845 mm

Considering the poor seeing (not a surprise in Denver), the result wasn't too bad.  I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for tranquil air.  The mount worked very well despite the fact that it's kind of an antique so that is promising.
