Jupiter

Hi all,

Here is an image of Jupiter I took on the 15th of December 2011. I’m just getting around to processing now the seeing was much better on this night, this is one Planet I love imaging because everytime I look at it something new is there.

Hi Carl,

I think you mean this image is of the 15th December 2011 instead of 5th November 2011.

I did write some comments for the image you posted of the 5th Nov about 2 weeks. Here it is below.

I can see quite alot on the surface. I enlarged the image so that I could see more detail.
5th November 2011 image
The SEB has some turbulence. This may be due to the distant outbreak from the GRS behind Jupiter.
There is an interesting thin dark band south of the SEB. Do you have other images that show more of it?
The NEB is quiet and bit narrow.
I see some odd spots in the NEBn that look conspicuous. Some dark barges.
I see odd red spot in the NTB.
The STrZ is a bit dark with the northern section disturbed from the wake of the interaction of the GRS. This tends to happen on this band probably all round the circumfrence.
There is a white oval close to the BA. I wonder will this merge?

Regarding the 15th December image:

The GRS is the main highlight. I can see the dynamic changes on the wake of the GRS. The GRS is still surrounded by a dark halo.
The SEB continues to be complex due to the interaction of the GRS and the outbreak following it.
Oval BA is nicely visible but faded. I see dark NEBn barges.
The SEB is dark in this region while the NEB here is wider but still narrower than normal.

Looking forward to more images

Thanks for sharing

Sorry about the last post Eamonn I missed that one. I messed up the date on the image also thanks for letting me know. As for Jupiter the GRS is getting very pale. Great seeing the changes on this Planet week to week.Sad to see Jupiter moving into the early twilight
Again thanks very much for your comments.

Carl.

Hi Carl,
the link in the post doesnt point to a Jupiter image.
You're dead right about the GRS, its definitely getting harder to see !!
