Trevor Barry(406mm Newtonian)







Imaged Jupiter last night,had some totally unexpected good seeing for the alt.
All of the predictors I rely on were indicating very ordinary conditions.
It was still very warm with a hot North wind,3am this morning still 32C.
Have the GRS going over the P limb and Oval BA coming in from the F limb
Chris Pellier's Mickey Mouse head is prominent in the STB as is a row of dark spots in the STrZ.
The turbulence in the SEB is well resolved as are the festoons impinging into the EZ from the NEB.
I note a prominent very compact bright spot in the NEB.
The NTrZ is notable for just how smooth it appears to be.
The NTB has some interesting structures of spots toward the P limb
and there are multiple tiny bright ovals in the North polar region.
