Some more images of Jove from Opposition

[John K]

Some images taken this morning from a quite balmy night in Melbourne. Temperature was around 24 degrees at 1:30am when I was taking these images.

There are 3 images: IR 685; L(IR)RGB and L(IR)R(IR)GB so there are some colour balance elements that are different to the normal RGB images - BUT, at only 36 degrees, the only way to get any detail is with the IR filter which in my case at IR 685 really is a deep red filter.

Lots of stuff going on in Jove. Distinct ring inside GRS; stuff training GRS; some material near BA Oval and as always lots of feastoon activity in the Equatorial Zone.

The weather has turned in Melbourne and I think we are in for a bout of poor astronomical weather - but it is Melbourne!

Clear skies,

John K.

Hi John,
Once again, excellent images!
The IR filter makes a big difference, but your equipment and processing too
Compare my newbie shot at 1am same night (from Melbourne too)

You can just see the GRS coming around the corner

Awesome shots showing the GRS. I shall have to have another go at observing tonight and see how far I can stretch my little travel scope to get some detail on Jupiter. Its clear as a bell in South Western Qld ATM.

Sheez, counting the GRS there are 8? circles or ovals on that disc
