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.
