I remember seeing this happen through an 8 inch Newtonian I had at the time. I was amazed that I could see dark spots like that on Jupiter. Jupiter was high in the sky for us too. Southern apparition. Not a bad shot for a single frame. Lucky imaging now would have an image about 4 times bigger and with incredible detail that would rival images taken by Hubble at the time. It will be another year before Jupiter will be worth imaging from my location. It seems like forever since I imaged it myself.
