Carlos E. Hernandez (Drawing:9-inch (23-cm) F/13.5 Maksutov- Cassegrain)
I made an observation of Jupiter on April 4,2006 at 01:20 U.T. under average seeing conditions (5-6/10. moments of 6-7/10). The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) and the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) displayed a wealth of structure as depicted. Time constraints did not allow me to make a color observation. I welcome any comments that you may have on my observation.
