Yes you may be right , I remember the Jupiter cloud change well in '07 .
My either 127mm iStar Refractor or the powerful C 9.25 will be out as the weather is not to bad here tonight both good for 400x plus .
If you check out some of the Jupiter images posted on here in the past few weeks and compare them to Jupiter at last years opposition it is easy to see that the equatorial bands have darkened to a tan colour.
The seeing was very good around here last night, making fine detail easier to observe.
You're right blokes. Nothern band very dark compared to other. Also the bands are no longer doubled up. Also can't remember the GRS so red except in 1970s NASA photos!

Awesome mate! I feel like I have finally discovered something Of course it's not strictly true that I "discovered" it, but, in context, I did I'll have to pay close attention to Jupiter over the coming months to see how quickly it changes back to "normal"

Well, certainly the media hasn't been talking about it. Or maybe they have and no-one covered it. It's kinda news story you would see after the weather, during the 1980s. Maybe on the NASA website I dunno. Congratulations!
