Jupiter 3/23 On 10/10 Seeing!!

It has been 10 days since my last image. We had a brush with Typhoon Roke. The eye of the typhoon passed about 60 miles north of us! After the typhoon, we had a week of cloudy skies. This is the first clearing in more than a week. Seeing was around 10/10 and transparency 4/5!

Here's an image of Jupiter's "boring" side wide the Oval BA rising. Note that the Oval BA has a more defined border! Almost exactly the same image as my last image only better seeing conditions! There are dark barges on the STB/SSTB region. There are lots of dark spots on the STrZ to the left of the Oval BA.

The SEB is filled with spots while the EB is filled with blue festoons even on the white area! The NEB has curious dark red spots on it and there are also white spots on the NEB. There is also a curious feature setting on the left side of the NEB. The NEB has a dark line and some white spots. Also interesting is are a group of spots on the right side of the NEB/EB border.

This is probably my best image for this season!

Fantastic shooting.

I assume its with the celestron 8 incredable.

A few years ago who would have believed this was possible with 20cm of aperture.

I hope to challenge when i get similar conditions will be doing f-36 not f-30 as in the images I showed.

All the best can't wait to see the other side in those conditions.

Wow oustanding detail, you really know your stuff, send more.

Chris,

A very impressive image showing much detail over the jovian disk. I agree with your comments. The Equatorial Zone (EZ) appears to have a pink shade whereas the southern portion of the South Tropical Zone (STrZ) appears yellowish. The blue festoons along the NEB-S are very prominent. I look forward to your future images.
