Jupiter, May-July

Thought you'd find this interesting... the LRS is no more! It appears to have been destroyed in its encounter with the GRS on July 1.

Here's a collage showing Jupiter over the last 6 weeks or so, in the last image the LRS has vanished.

Fantastic shots Anthony... very nice! 8)
Congrats!

Stunning images Anthony! I set out to image Jupiter for first time with a web cam, July 1, but the seeing really was just too poor that low in sky at 43 deg.

I was curious about the current features and nomenclature. On your June 25 image, the feature that is directly below GRS is Red Jr? or was that what was swallowed up as you show?

Clear skies,
Kevin

Fantastic set of images Anthony! Besides being very, very detailed images, the information they convey is really interesting. Have you reported the phenomenon?

Ciao

Anthony,

Not only are the events captured incredible, I'm constantly amazed how your images seem to have that "glossy" appearance...just beautiful.
