Hi Eric, what an interesting high res image! The very large (dark) NEZ cloud almost looks like smoke from a Volcano or dust from an asteroid impact? Your photo brought back memories from the summer of '94, when I observed the dark clouds of dust (or smoke) that comet Shoemaker-Levy produced. Thanks for posting, Dan 8)

hey thats the Jupiter I remember before the bottom fell out!

Eric, that's great! 2004 was one year before I started imaging Jupiter, for some reason I never thought of looking at it even though I'd bought a ToUcam in 2003...

cheers, Anthony
