Jupiter's White Ovals in South Polar Region using an 8" SCT
I imaged Jupiter with my DBK21AU04 and 8 inch SCT on Sept 1, 2010 at 4:19 AM EDT from Baltimore, Maryland. For the first time I was able to image Jupiter at F/30 with a 3x barlow. That enabled me to see two of the White Ovals in Jupiter's South Polar Region. Note that South points toward the top of my image. You may need to increase the brightness and contrast on your monitor to see the image at its best.
