Jupiter 3/17 Not so Boring Side

Seeing was very good this morning. Sadly transparency was only 3/5
because of haze. This is the not so boring side of Jupiter. Note
the wealth of activity especially in the SSTB and SEB. Note the big
spot forming on the SSTB just before the CM. The NNTB is also filled
with spots include a huge one and a red one around the CM!!

Chris, nice shot! You are very lucky to live where the seeing is usually above average. I have had 1 night with 3/5 transparancy/seeing this month. Even under "average" conditions, your detail is tremendous. I set my alarm this morning to see the red spot transit at 3:45AM but the sky was hazy and went back to bed. I did get back up later to catch Venus, but the seeing was 2/5 at best. thanks for posting

Steve
