Thanks for the complements Dunk and Jeff, I enjoy your more skilled renditions of the might Jove.
Yes it was a good night for viewing David and nice sketch Ilya. The laptop provides a very enlarged camera recording image of Jupiter but the considerably smaller image of a much more vibrant and luminous Jupiter and the red sliver of the turbulent GRS and the wider view of the moons through the eyepiece has far more impact. The image was from 11.10pm
You were sketching at 170x while my F5 Dob was at 192x or so with a 6.5mm Morpheus eyepiece so we were seeing pretty similar views!
