Another nice morning… seeing average to good, transparency average to good.

The best image of Jupiter this morning as the corrector plate heater failed and it completely fogged over.
This was 6823 frames at 6ms each over the course of 120 seconds with a 20cm f10 Schmidt Cass style Meade LX200 with a ZWO ASI 120MC camera (usb2). It was processed with autostakkert! into a .TIF with no sharpening or drizzle for the best 50% of the images. It was then processed by Registax6 for wavelets only.

Tomorrow mornings weather is promising, especially now that we have a working heater on the corrector plate and a brand new dew shield to boot!
