Jupiter from the murky depths (Oct 22)

[lepton3 (Ivan)]

Down here in the murky depths, we view Jupiter through an extra couple of airmasses, compound by a vicious jetstream.

We can confirm the planet still has cloud bands, and the occasional satellite transit occurs, but not much else!

Why some of us down here still bother to try imaging this planet is a mystery .

Edit. I should add the first 2 images are from Oct 20, the third is from Oct 22.

Well Ivan, sometimes it's not always about a great image, but I feel your pain.

Nice work nonetheless!

[Shiraz (Ray)]

still nice images Ivan.

we keep trying because there is always the slight chance that the atmosphere will become stable and transparent at all levels, the clouds will go away, the wind will be slight and pigs might fly. Regards from a fellow murk dweller, Ray

I always love seeing the moonshadows, thanks for the images.

What is that line from pole to pole on the left of the images? Is it just a processing artefact?

Thanks Asimov, I think we will be happy if we get an average image down here this season.

Ha ha, you're right Ray, pigs might fly (although I'm not sure about the other things happening).

And thanks for the thumbs up, Laurie.

Hi Poita, yes that is a processing artifact, most obvious in the blue channel. It is caused by over sharpening. But if I sharpen lightly enough to avoid it, there is no detail to be seen. So you're basically doomed with poor data like this.
