Jupiter 12.08.03

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

An excellent observation of Jupiter showing much detail. It is interesting that the NTB is not visible at this time. We will have to keep an eye on this in the future. I will try to observe Jupiter as soon as my schedule allows.

Jupiter Sketch 12.13.03

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

Another excellent sketch of Jupiter showing much detail. The NEB-S festoons look very interesting and delicate. The NEB-N barges are prominent in your observation. I look forward to your future observations. I hope to observe Jupiter myself soon.

Jupiter Observation (December 19, 2003)

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

Thank you for the compliment on my latest observation of Jupiter. The double transit was very interesting. As I was putting the scope away I noted the egress of Callisto and the Great Red Spot (GRS) on the following limb. That was spectacular as well. The best of luck in your own observations of the planets.

12.21.03 Jupiter

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

Another excellent observation of Jupiter showing much detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) does appear to be elongated in your observation. I have not had a direct observation of the GRS to date to conform this appearance. Images of the GRS show it to be somewhat elongated with the southern half darker than the northern. Please keep up the excellent work.

12.21.03 Saturn

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

A highly detailed observation of Saturn showing delicate features depicted over the globe and rings. I am glad you experienced good seeing conditions and that your new instrument (9.6" Newtonian reflector) is working very well. I look forward to your future observations.

12.28.03 Jupiter Sketch--

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

An outstanding observation of Jupiter showing a wealth of detail. The South Temperate Belt/Zone region shows much activity which may represent an elongated circulation within the jovian atmosphere at this latitude. The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) appears to be divided. The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) shows many fine features within it as well as it's borders. Thank you for sharing this excellent observation with us all.

A whole day on Jupiter

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Bruce,

An excellent montage of images of Jupiter showing a good amount of detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) is clearly visible in the lower images and it shows detail within. The blue festoons along the southern border of the NEB are prominent as well.

We all look forward to your future images.

Jupiter Sketch Jan. 8, 2004

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

An outstanding observation of Jupiter showing much detail. The STB does appear to be irregular over some longitudes as I noted this morning in my own observaion that I posted. The Great Red Spot (GRS) appears prominent on the following limb. The NEB appears to be very active, as you point out, which I also noted this morning.

Please keep up the great work!
