The skies finally cleared last evening. Just after sunset I was able to record a low probability of success occultation and after that re-configure the PTO for planetary imaging. Jupiter was very close to the meridian so it was as high in the sky as it was going to get before the mount needed to do a meridian flip. I was able to get two quick series before the computer locked up. I guess it was out of shape from sitting so long in between sessions.

This image shows the planet Jupiter. The planet has several horizontal cloud bands. The image is south at the top.

Jupiter [(V)R:1254×1.183ms;

To ID the cloud bands see Jupiter’s belts and zones.
