Might be a Jupiter night tonight.  Depends on fog. If the stars aren't twinkling I might give it a go ...

Hi,

The Fog is getting really bad already here tonight, I'm not going out, I can only just see the garage, UP is ok, but its getting misty.

I've got a real pea souper down here at the moment.
Cant even see the truck in the garden.

I think people have turned their central heating up - managed a very short AVI of Jupiter but conditions have got bad now so I've come in.

Going next door for some Beer now :)

Same problem - Jupiter was sitting above next door's central heating flue - every time it fired up Jupiter went all wobbly. Got a couple of AVIs of varying quality . 

I need a house with a clear south view ...

you need a house on the south side of Canterbury Avenue.

Just the train track and a small park to worry about ;)

Vey quick, rough and ready processing - data was not brilliant - the result is nowhere near my best:



North is up - unfortunately, the area containing the SEB outbreak does not appear.

how many frames a second does the SPC go up to Mark? why do you always only do 5fps?

If i remember correctly fay, at 5fps the video image is not compressed. anything above that the video stream is compressed.

Although i might be wrong.
