Seeing was amazing this morning. This is my best image of Jupiter for now! Note the great detail inside the GRS!!

First sighting after a long cloudy period. The white spot on the NEB N edge is called spot Z and is a long-lived feature. Much turbulence in the SEB, which is much better resolved in images from some far eastern observers on the ALPO Japan site ALPO Japan site http://alpo-j.sakura.ne.jp/Latest/index.html
