Jupiter shortly before midnight on 27 July.
SPC 900 webcam on Celestron C11 with x2 Barlow.
300 frames of 0.2 sec stacked in Registax then deconvolution applied

I also tried an IR pass filter with the SPC webcam. It did reveal extra detail and needed less severe deconvolution but but I couldn't stop the ringing round the edge. I think it really needs a monochrome camera.

But is that another spot to the left and down and also to the up and right of the main one?

Infra-red on the left and visible light on the right:

I am having a go at this with the 6" Mak/Cass & DMK, tonight, Mark. Wonder if I get the same "spots"

Good luck! The spot will be central at 1:17am

Me - I need some sleep.

I realised I would not be up for the spot. My jupiter is not too good.
