Sol,

An excellent and highly detailed observation even with high winds. Both the SEB and NEB show prominent detail. The best of luck observing in the future.

Paul,

Congratulations on your new instrument , C9.25, which shows much potential in the image of Jupiter you have posted. I expect to see further outstanding images of the planets from you in the future.

Jose,

An excellent image of Saturn. GY is correct in that the shadow of the globe is on the right, but still a great image.

Paul,

Excellent detail imaged across the jovian disk. The orange-yellow color over the northern segment of the Equatorial Zone (EZ) is interesting. I look forward to your future images.

JUPITER SKETCH 4.16.04

Sol,

An excellent observation of Jupiter. The NEB has a marbled appearance at this time, as you point out, including bright rifts and dark condensations. The SEB and STB are also interesting. I too have noted bright regions within the NPR in the past. I look forward to your future observations.

Jupiter Observation (April 20, 2004)

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez

Thank you all for your wonderful compliments on my latest observation of Jupiter. I was fortunate to have noted so much detail as my weather has been very erratic lately. The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) and Equatorial Zone (EZ) were very interesting with so much delicate detail visible. I am happy that I was able to record their appearance accurately.

The best of luck in your own observations of the planets.

04.20.04--Jupiter Sketch

Posted By Carlos E. Hernandez

Sol,

Thank you for posting this outstanding observation of Jupiter. You have captured the Great Red Spot (GRS) region very nicely (highly detailed and accurate!) as well as the North Equatorial Belt (NEB) and associated festoons along it's southern border (NEBs). The South Polar Region (SPR) and the dark belt below (north) of it were visible to me as well. The NNTB and NNTZ were also prominent to me a few hours earlier.

We will miss your observations for the time that you are away from home.

Leroi,

An outstanding image of Jupiter showing a wealth of detail. The detail visible from pole to pole is very impressive and difficult to describe. We all look forward to your future images of the planets from your beautiful location.
