Jupiter, August 1

The seeing here was very poor last night, but at least the skies were
clear for a change...

This image shows how the black impact mark on Jupiter is evolving - the
main body of the dark cloud is moving westward (to the right as we see
it here), although it appears that a small stream of dark material is
also being pulled down and in the opposite direction - perhaps around a
cyclone or some other localised weather feature?

Io is also visible along with its shadow.

regards,Anthony
