Hello.
Something rare today: No high quality Jupiter, which is nearly impossible with only about 38 degrees distance from, 
the sun in daylight skies and / or low positions at evening times.
But a nice series I managed to capture under really challenging circumstances from the triple shadow event of June 3rd. We had a clearing sky in the afternoon, just in time for this event.
Finding Jupiter was unusually difficult in a hazy and bright sky. The planets disk, which I found after a few minutes, had an extremly low contrast.
I had to pull down the contrast of my DMK to also unusually low values like a harsh 30!
After all I managed to grab three RGB series and some more in Red or IR Pass. All Data are in the image. Enjoy - and, good bye Jupiter for this observation round. [Rudolf A.Hillebrecht: Bad Gandersheim,Germany ]
