About this image

Two more images from very early in my daylight Jupiter session on 24th April in quite reasonable seeing (apart from dayglow!). The left habd earlier image purely in IR as it was too early to see Jupiter clearly in colour. The second image over 25 minutes starts with IR, some RGB in the middle and then finishes again in IR.
