    Up and moving around by 9ish, after only maybe a few hours sleep. Back into town to pick up a fastfood breakfast, before heading on south towards Idaho Falls. Stopped enroute for another hour or twos sleep. At Idaho Falls I headed to the starbux for wifi and power to process the Jupiter footage. MUCH better than anything Ive done previously, and the timelapse of me getting the footage of Jupiter really added to it. Quite unintentionally I had got simultaneously the rotation of the Earth in the same time frame as the rotation of Jupiter! I also had the movement of three of the moons! That had a significant effect at raising the fatigued spirit.
    The sky forcast looked good, so I picked up some food and headed back to the my Tetons Pass'. Set up the scope past dark and turned it to Jupiter. I could see a moon on the limb of Jupiter (about to transit) and the great red spot about to roll over the face of the disk. That settled it, I had to look at it! Got ready for another timelapse, doing 15s capture every 3minutes. Kept going till the moon was well clear of the limb of the other side of Jupiter. Orion was then rising so I spent 20 minutes on the horsehead nebula.
    Wednesday 26th slept till noon, then shook off the drowsyness and headed down to Jackson. Enroute my AC convertor that gives me 120v from the 12v of the car burnt out, and all of a sudden, within a day, I had gone from having 3 of these devices to only one (a robust one, but one that could only handle 80W (almost nothing). . Processed deep sky images, and processed and uploaded tyrell. Night doing outreach
