A couple short bursts of fair seeing intermixed with long periods of poor, resulted in these views compiled from 4 mins of data centered on 22:12 & 23:12UT. Max altitude for these was 32 degrees.

Enduring the low altitude (this image is the lowest I have recorded Jupiter, at 28 degrees for my location). Transparency was variabe due to high cirrus, seeing showed fleeting good moments on screen.

Finally some better conditions for this set.
April 28
Poor - Fair seeing. GRS is seen rotating into view and OvalBA rotating away.
In the attached example, note the difference in resolved detail between these two consecutive shots. No adjustments in focus, settings or processing between the two, the only variable here is the fluctuating atmosphere.
March 18
Poor seeing with moments of fair.
February 3
Fair to good seeing. GRS and OvalBA are well displayed as is the shadow of Ganymede rotating into view.
