GRS and LRS, before and in the aftermath

Hi all,

My ordinary job kept me far for a while from my laptop where some Jupiter stuff were parked in.
Find those here:

I could capture the GRS and the LRS a while before and after their encounter.
I noticed the GRS has likely "sucked" the orange tint of the LRS throwing away an anonimous whitish spot.
All the images were captured in my trusty Giogo mountain under acceptable conditions. Fair seeing with very poor transparency on June 28/29, fairly poor seeing with excellent transparency on July 10.

More to follow.
(Hopefully)

Excellent results, Paolo. For the altitude you've captured some great detail and colour.

I haven't seen the GRS for a few weeks now

Great shots

I captured some shots of Jupiter last night and am having trouble finding the Little Red Spot again. Have you seen it lately? Thanks for the awesome pics!!

Thank you again Mike and Alphajuno!
The LRS simply doesn't exist any longer.

I captured a jupiter image yesterday in which it looks like the LRS is re-forming... its smaller than it was... but its still there.
