Jupiter with 127mm Mak-Cas

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Dominique,

An outstanding image of Jupiter, especially for a 5" aperture! The wealth of detail recorded over the jovian disk is impressive. The North Equatorial Belt (NEB, top wide band) and the South Equatorial Belt (SEB) both show much detail within. The large bright oval towards the bottom right limb is the oval BE within the South Temperate Belt (STB). Thank you for sharing this image with us all.

We all look forward to your future images of the planets.

Mike,

Thank you for posting your excellent image of Jupiter. Much detail is noted across the jovian disk. The NEB and SEB show complex detail within. The GRS is visible over the south-following limb. I hope that your weather improves in the near future. We all look forward to your future images.

Gary,

An excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) region is very complex, as well as the SEB following it. The Equatorial Zone (EZ) is full of blue festoons. Please keep up the good work.

Jupiter with a Newton 8'

Mario,

An outstanding image of Jupiter showing much detail. The Great Red Spot (GRS) region is very interesting. Both the North and South Equatorial Belts (NEB and SEB) show complex detail. Several bright (white) ovals are noted over the South Temperate Zone (STZ). The satellites show some detail as well. Please keep up the excellent work.

Portugal is a very good site for planetary imaging as proven by my friend Antonio Cidadao.

Dwight,

An excellent image of Saturn. Detail is noted over both the globe and rings (note the pastel green collar surrounding the South Polar Region (SPR)). The Encke Minima (not division which is further out) is visible in your image. Thank you for sharing it with us all.

Best Jupiter Observations-3/13/04

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Thomas,

A very good observation of Jupiter showing much detail. The oval BE is clearly visible on the CM over the South Temperate Belt (STB). The NEB and SEB show detail within and blue festoons are noted along the NEBs. The Great Red Spot (GRS) is clearly visible on the limb. Please keep up the excellent work.

Your observation compares very well to the image obtained by Paul Maxson on the following date.

Jupiter-Io-Europa Sketch 03.22.04

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Sol,

An exceptional observation of Jupiter showing the Io/Europa transit (with respective shadows). The detail that you have observed over the jovian disk is very impressive. Both the NEB and SEB show complex detail. The interacting stellite shadows are very interesting. I am glad that you were able to observe this event and record it so well. I missed the event due to my weather. The best of luck in your future observations.
