Subject: [AZ-Observing] Pretty Good Seeing Tonight
At dusk, the sky was just barely stable enough to bother putting the webcam in
the focuser, but it improved a bit in the next hour. As is often the case
during monsoon clearings, seeing cells were very large and slow moving. This
enables the camera to "see through" the cells, and pick up some decent
planetary
detail.
Here is an image of Jupiter made earlier tonight using my 10-inch.

Most of that detail (sans color) is there visually, but you really have to work
to see it.
