12.21.03 Jupiter

Hi,

I had relatively good sky conditions for observing Jupiter. Finally got a peek at the GRS. Its very dark and elongated as compared to the last opposition.

A happy and peaceful holiday to everybody, Sol Robbins

Sol,

Another excellent observation of Jupiter showing much detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) does appear to be elongated in your observation. I have not had a direct observation of the GRS to date to conform this appearance. Images of the GRS show it to be somewhat elongated with the southern half darker than the northern. Please keep up the excellent work.
