My timing was just a bit off! An hour or two earlier and the great red spot would have been much more visible. The images were processed two different ways – one was quick and dirty by stacking and processing the best 20% of all RGB channels combined, and the other (smoother, better color) was processed by separating the RGB channels prior to stacking, then re-combining them to full color RGB after.
