Jupiter March 2nd in Good Seeing

[Quark (Trevor)]

Hi All,

Imaged Jupiter last evening in good seeing, better than the previous night. At this rate of improvement the seeing should get to 10/10 by Thursday.

Oval BA is well resolved as is Ganymede. There is a line of dark spots within the STrZ extending from Oval BA to the P limb. The SEB has quite a long longitudinal feature running through it and there is well resolved knots of turbulence right along the Northern edge of the SEB.

There are some impressive festoons in the EZ and this section of the NEB looks particularly turbulent . I note a small red oval in the NTeB between the CM and P limb with a quite thin streak of material heading from it back down toward the F limb.

Regards
Trevor

Nice going Trev,

considering how low Jove is, heaps of details in your images!

I never get the GRS or moons perhaps one day. Good detail for altitude and can see some detail low on the south pole too.

Nice work Trevor! I saw the transit through a 16" Dob from mid north Victoria but the seeing was not even mediocre.

[Quark (Trevor)]

Thanks very much Guys for your comments. It has been such a frustrating Jupiter season and it was certainly most satisfying to snag some nice data at last.

That's a beautiful set of images Trevor.
I had a go from Melbourne, but ....not much hope with the seeing here.

cheers
