Boy, yard to see if it's real deatils or now. I loaded the image into Photoshop and boosted the contrast, and all I can say for sure is that the middle is darker than the top and bottom. I don't see any steady prograssion that would indicate rotation, and I don't know the rotational period in any case. But very interesting that you can record details. i've seen Jupiter's moons as disks visually a few times, but have never got even close to capturing that photographically.

Your Jupiter animation is just super.
