- 2.25.04 Jupiter Sketch -

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

Another excellent observation of Jupiter showing much detail.The STB oval (BE?) is clearly visible. The SEB appears divided and interesting as you point out. The NEB abd NEB-S festoons look interesting as well. The Sirius NPC filter sounds like a good one for use on the planets. Please keep up the good work.

saturn in superb seeing

Alan,

One of the most stunning images of Saturn I have ever seen! You have recorded a wealth of detail over the globe and rings. The pastel green collar surrounding the South Polar Region (SPR) is well captured. I am glad that you enjoyed such wonderful seeing conditions to image the ringed planet. I wish you many more such evenings in the future.

An excellent observation of Saturn. You noted some divisions within the B ring and the Encke minima (?) as well. The globe shows some detail as well. Thank you for posting this observation.

Sol,

An outstanding observation of Jupiter showing a wealth of detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) region is well recorded along with the two following "beaks." The NEB is very complex with many festoons noted along the NEBs. I look forward to your future observations.

Sol,

Another excellent observation of Jupiter showing much detail. Both the SEB and NEB show delicate detail. The STZ/STB region shows gaps and ovals. Festoons along the NEBs have very interesting shapes.

I wish that I could have participated but I was clouded out.

Wes,

A beautiful image of Jupiter showing the Great Red Spot (GRS) region. Io and it's shadow are very interesting. I hope that you enjoy better seeing in the future, but this was a nice image all the same.

Jupiter 03.06.04

Vincent,

An excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. The large white oval over the South Temperate Belt (STB, top) is named BE after the merging of two separate ovals in the recent past (BC and DE). The South Equatorial Belt (SEB) shows much detail as well. The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) is highly detailed as well with festoons noted along it's southern border (NEBs). Thank you for sharing this image with us all.

Yet another Jupiter tonight

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Vincent,

Another excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. I took the liberty to play with your image and processed it through Photoshop 7. I adjusted the levels to bring out the reddish-brown belts and blue festoons better. Please keep up the good work.
