Jupiter_060708_set1

Not a particularly good shot of Jupiter. I probably started imaging too late. If I image post meridian, the planet moves over a stand of pine trees and the roof of my neighbor's house and at that point local air turbulence takes over. The image on the laptop was characterized by shimmering and bouncing with occasional flashes of detail.

This is actually my first Jupiter this season. I'm hoping to better position the scope to avoid local turbulence in the future, but at 31 degrees altitude, it won't be easy. :-) Dark skies, Larry
