Hi, seeing was a little better this morning compared to last time, but Jupiter is still very low. Oval BA is well placed in this image, still seems to be pale orange/red in colour.
Image taken about 30 minutes before sunrise.

I had a fairly busy morning this morning - knowing that the skies were going
to be clear (well, hoping), the waning crescent Moon was well positioned, a
bright ISS and STS-119 Discovery pass was going overhead, and then of course
Jupiter which is climbing to a manageable 35° altitude before dawn.

I managed to capture all three objects, and here’s the first one that has
been processed. It’s Jupiter in seeing that was very similar to what I
captured on wednesday morning.

The resolution isn’t great due to the seeing, but Oval BA is visible just
past the CM. I missed the best of the seeing as it deteriorated further as
dawn approached. I was busy capturing the Moon and the ISS when the seeing
was good, and Jupiter was still too low.
