Jupiter 2004.03.17

This has been the first warm day in spring with temperatures above 20°C. Seeing was ok at 20:00 local time but degraded substantially later on. After imaging Saturn I shot another 3 AVIs of Jupiter 2.5 hours before culmination. Transparency was very good but at this time Jupiter with relative low altitude was quite a boiling reddish dot in the skyglow above the city. I tried my best to squeeze some details out of the images without overprocessing.
