Jupiter - Feb to May, changing size and face
Hello,

I thought it would be nice to create a montage showing the different apparent sizes of Jupiter between February and May 2006. I was quite surprised at how the image scale has changed!

It is also quite interesting to see how the surface details and systems have also changed during the same period.

All images were captured with the same configuration of:

Celestron C9.25
TeleVue x2.5 PowerMate.
Philips ToUcam 840K.

Cheers

Dennis
