Jupiter & Mars, 6th & 9th February

I'm mainly here to distract people from Moon photos

Even though seeing wasn't quite as good - still my best Jupiter to date, loving the C14. What's interesting is that the South Tropical Disturbance that formed following the Great Red Spot is now flowing past the south edge of the GRS. The white SEB outbreak seems really active near the GRS, with a white oval-like feature and some bright patches to the upper left of the GRS. Good fun to watch how they're rapidly changing - see this recent movie from ALPO images

And a bright afternoon cloud on Olympus Mons, and some bluish evening clouds on Tharsis today

EDIT: Added images from Friday morning. Clouds came in pretty much just as I got the scope cooled reasonably well, managed one set with Io transiting, and one methane image to go with it.

More Jupiter and Mars here.

Love Jupiters ever changing festoons, swirls ,barges the transits..well done again.

One usually sees the clouds were Olympus Mons should be in a big scope with good seeing, and Mars at close opposition.

The albedo effects, and not the mountain itself..its too low and gentle a slope for that...some though have reported seeing a sunlit slope when crossing the Martian terminator ..but not many..usually just a darkening or brightening .

You've captured this so well here and Jove ..

Great images again andy. Thanks for posting the link to the alpo video too. I'll be keeping a close eye on pvol to see how the GRS events unfurl.

Thanks all for the nice comments I've added images from Friday morning too, rather than starting another thread this week. Clouds came in pretty much just as I got the scope cooled reasonably well. I managed one slightly fuzzy set with Io transiting, and one methane image to go with it before clouds ended the session. Can't seem to avoid the GRS so far this season!

More images here.
