This is the first image coming from Bangkok metropolis captured by myself and Tiziano Olivetti.
A good night with good seeing and fair transparency allowed this hard image 6 secs exposed in 2x2 binning mode.
Other multispectral images will follow by April 10th session.
A special thanks to Daniele Botallo who gave me his CH4 filter for my mission.
This is the best RGB Jupiter image I could have back from my 1 week trip to Bangkok.
To notice the GRS' turbulent tail in the SEB, the dark whirlpool on the right side of the NEB and it's weakened red colour in the left and bottom sides. Spots everywhere up to the poles.

The overall image contrast may look as faint but this is the best processing way I found to fit the visual aspect at the eyepiece rendered in the digital image.
I never had in all my life such an amazing view of Jupiter, I just wanted to keep it safe in my mind through this picture!

Other images recorded on April 10th session from Bangkok. Two Lumenera LU075 cameras (bw and color) were used with, respectively, a R+IR and an IRcut filter. Note the 2 dark Io's polar caps.
