Jupiter from Chania

Lately I have been exploring new locations in order to find better seeing. In the hills just south of Rethymnon I found reasonably good seeing (~ 0.8 arcsec) on two out of four nights, and the one night I spent on Sklopa near Chania the seeing was also good. The below image is from Sklopa, a slightly risky location perhaps, since photography is prohibited near the airport and military base. Captured on Sep 3, 2011, at 01:52 UT.
