Jupiter : dark spots + StrD-1 + Oval BA

[hevelsky]

Hi all,
Here's some pictures of Jupiter, taken last night.
The transparency was very good but the seeing was poor.
I am rather satisfied by the result considering the aperture
of my telescope and the low altitude of Jupiter this year.
Images shows the chain of dark spots forming the SEB(S)
retrograding towards STrD-1. STrD-1 is very prominent since
the interaction with the first dark spot.
Note the nice red NTB and a small white spot in the NNTz.

Wow, great animation!

Pity the seeing wasn't better for you.

Keep it up and you'll strike gold one night

Hi Guillaume

Those are great images considering Jupiter is so low for you guys in the N hemisphere – a great effort with excellent results.

Cheers
