Jupiter with GRS (Sept 25 2012)

Sept 25 2012 09:43 UT
Towson, MD [Location: N 39° 23' W 76° 36']
Clear, 43° F
Transparency: 4/5
Seeing: 8/10
RV-6 Newtonian (150cm f/8) with TeleVue PowerMate 2.5x
Camera: DFK 21AU04S 1/76 sec exposure, 30 fps Registax6: 35 frames from 1826
CM I: 55.8°
CM II: 185.9°

The focus and seeing were a bit better this morning, but even so the GRS is pretty pale. Suspect that the "Red Spot Jr" is trailing the GRS a little, but not definitively images here. Oval in SSTB preceding Jupiter.
