Excellent sketch and observation report. Congratulations on your good fortune to observe Jupiter at opposition. I saw an image earlier today from the Phillipines with Io and its shadow almost in alignment.

best,

Yet another Jupiter tonight

Nice! Try compressed air on the spots first. You can use a gentle swipe with isopropyl alchohol on a q-tip if air doesn't work. It's a constant battle. Be sure you keep a cap over the adapter when not in the telescope.

The Jupiter timeline in Sky & Telescope is a handy quick reference too. But you'll need the time and date - Io moves pretty quickly.

Sensational detail in your image. That turbulence in the NEB looks markedly changed from mid February.

clear skies,

Really nice images. I dream about 80 degrees again!
Weren't you setting up a larger scope a while back?
