I had my first opportunity to try Artjärvi Observatory 16" telescope. Jupiter was only 13.5° above horizon and seeing was quite bad, but at now and then there was good moments. Too bad GRS and Red Jr. was on the other side of the planet. The grayscale image at the left is taken 21h13m with IR pass filter. CM I: 194.17 CM II: 221.93 CM III: 9.22
