Jupiter 10.23.11 6:42 UTC

Seeing forecast was good so I decided to leave the city and drive an hour out and do some imaging. I couldn't believe what I saw when I trained my scope on Jupiter. The seeing was fantastic for more than 2 hours, like looking through plate glass. Never experienced this before.

I also upgraded my laptop to a 2.0 ghz core 2 duo and an SSD HDD. FireCapture has never run so smoothly. It was rock solid at 50fps. 30 gigs of data later - here is one process. There are even sharper sequences in the group, just have to find them.
