It sure was lit up by the sun and again, the autoguide lost track of Jupiter with the lit up passing clouds.  I started imaging at 19:30 EDT (sun was still up).  The first two runs went ok, then all the rest until 20:04 had to be thrown out.  I continued until 20:40 when a bad refocus attempt lost Jupiter, lost autoguiding, and it was time to close down and have a nightcap.<\/p>\n<p>This was the best of the evening, and yes that is the Great Red Spot coming into view&#8230; pretty bad all in all.<\/p>\n<p>I had to give up  the  RGB autobalance until at least 20:20 EDT as the sky was so bright blue that any autocorrection heavily skewed it into the orange again.  Pointing and tracking are a little better after a realignment earlier in the week.<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward to this evening.  Two competing forecasts.. will see which is correct!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/starlightcascade.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/jupiter_20160428.gif\" alt=\"jupiter_20160428\" width=\"400\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6965\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another attempted Jupiter imaging session Wednesday evening..
