Jupiter from the northern hemisphere (2007/05/31)

[hevelsky]

Hi all,
Here my second attempt on Jupiter for this season. The seeing was poor,
there’s nothing surprising about that, considering the altitude of Jupiter in
the northern hemisphere this year.


The NNTB Little Red Spot is visible on my picture.
The NTB is now reconstituted and has the same color as the NEB.
The SEB is always faint compared to the NEB. The mid-SEB outbreak
grows quickly and It seems to be interacting with the NTrD-2 which
is visible on my picture .

Hi Guillaume,

that image with a altitude of only 21 degrees is excellent.

Well done.

Lovely image Guillaume, I believe that it can be quite tricky at that altitude.

Very nice

Hello Guillaume. Nice to see you back in the saddle taking pictures again. It has been a while. Ahh, while Jupiter has been low for you I'll bet Saturn put on a great show for you over the past couple of months. Nice and high, up your way.
