A couple of decent Jupiters, an animation and a wee bit of interest on a Saturn

I've had an incredible run of tremendous seeing in Sydney over the past month and a half, with many nights up there at 8 or 9/9, and a remarkable number of those with the Great Red Spot in view. This has been scientifically interesting too, as material from the South Tropical Disturbance has been streaming around the GRS, a sight seen up close in the last Juno perijove.

I made an animation of the STropD/GRS interaction.

I tried a 360 map all-nighter for Jupiter on 24th April, and made some equatorial and polar maps out of that night. The GRS area was perfect seeing, but unfortunately seeing degraded for Oval BA. The full set of maps are here.

I've not taken many decent images of Saturn yet, but saw a nice small bit of activity the other day
