It is true that Jupiter is getting a lot of attention and rightly so.
This opposition has been a favorable one, the best since 1963. At nearly 50 arc sec's apparent dia it allows finer detail and strucure to be resolved than ever before by amateurs.
Jupiter is moving further north over the next several years and will not attain the alt above our horizon that it currently does, this makes it imperative to record data at every opportunity while it is still so favorably placed.
