Venus, Mars and Jupiter

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Paul,

Thank you for posting your excellent images of Jupiter, Mars , and Venus. The Jupiter image show much detail between the SEB and NEB. The Mars image shows some detail even though small in apparent diameter. The Venus image shows detail which is impressive considering the subject. Please keep up the excellent work.

Steve,

I played with your image as well in Photoshop 7.0 and here it is (I adjusted the levels to 20/0.91/99). More detail has been brought out. I hope that you like it.

Jupiter important change or optical illusion?

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Dominique,

The approach of these STZ ovals merits observation over the next few weeks. There may exist a vortex between the two ovals keeping them apart. Thank you for posting your excellent images of Jupiter.

Saturn Observation (March 29, 2004)

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Alan and Marc,

Thank you for your compliments on my latest observation of Saturn. I was fortunate to have observed under good seeing conditions.

The majority of Encke "Division" sightings are actualy those of the minima. Classicaly the minima is located over the middle of ring A and the division over the outer third of the ring. Good to excellent seeing conditions are required to observe this elusive division.

The best of luck on your own observations.

Bob,

An excellent image of the double transit event. You recorded the appearance of Jupiter and the satellite shadows very well. The Equatorial Zone (EZ) has appeared to me a bit yellowish lately. Please keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting your excellent image of Jupiter. I too have noted the angulating rift within the South Equatorial Belt (SEB). Please keep up the good work imaging the planets.

Double Transit Sketch

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez
Thomas,

Thank you for posting your excellent observation of Jupiter showing the satellite shadows. You have recorded the appearance of the satellite shadow very well. The Great Red Spot (GRS) region is well recorded as well. Please keep up the good work. You will notice that you will be recording more detail as your eye gets accustomed to faint structures over the disk of Jupiter.

Paul,

Thank you for posting your images of Jupiter obtained through a thunderstorm! They show excellent detail. The first image (02:52 U.T.) appears similar to my latest observation of Jupiter posted on this forum (April 4, 2004). I look forward to your future images.
