Jupiter, GRS + Callisto, April 17

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

Seeing was very good this morning - the forecast was for cloud but it
didn't arrive. Here's an image showing the GRS and also Callisto in
transit. There are some interesting blue festoon-like features around
the grs, and ongoing rifts in the NEB.

Oval BA is just visible on the limb at lower left, rotating into view.

This image allows an accurate measurement of the longitude of the GRS as
146.5 degrees cm3.

cheers, Bird

Thats a great result Bird,

Just how surreal does the GRS look, sitting there with the faded SEB, looks sort of lonely.

A great effort for such low alt and so close to Sunrise.

Very nice detailed capture Anthony for so low in altitude.

All the best.

You have a great start to the season with this and the image from the other day too. Seeing is king.

Well done again Anthony. You must be wrecked after these continuing early mornings!

Good detail in the GRS and yeah Jupiter does look funny this year.

Fantastic image, gives a nice size comparison of GRS against Callisto.

[SkyViking (Rolf)]

Amazing image, and interesting how the SEB has simply vanished!
