Jupiter 3/11 Oval BA

Posted By Christopher Go

Hello,

Here's my latest image of Jupiter under 9/10 seeing conditions with 5/5 seeing!! Note the Oval BA very prominent. Is it disintegrating? There is a dark spot on the STrZ. Note the red spots on the NEB and a dark ring feature on the NTB.

There are lots of spots on the STB and dark red barges on the STB and the SSTB.

Jupiter 3/12 Another Distorted GRS

Posted By Christopher Go

Hello Guys,

Hello,

Seeing was around 8/10 tonight with transparency at around 4/5. Note the strange shape of the GRS due probably to the interaction with the STrZ spots. Note the NEB rifts. There are also lots of spots from the STB to the SPR.

Jupiter 3/13 poor conditions

Posted By Christopher Go

Hello,

Conditions were terrible today. Seeing at around 7/10 with transparency at around 3/5. I had to image though a thin mist of cloud. This is the boring side of Jupiter with Io coming in.

Note the dark spots on the NEB. Also the small red SEB spot situation to the left of the CM. There is a huge dark barge at the NNTB. The Oval BA is rising on the right.

Jupiter 3/23 On 10/10 Seeing!!

Posted By Christopher Go

Hello

It has been 10 days since my last image. We had a brush with Typhoon Roke. The eye of the typhoon passed about 60 miles north of us! After the typhoon, we had a week of cloudy skies. This is the first clearing in more than a week. Seeing was around 10/10 and transparency 4/5!

Here's an image of Jupiter's "boring" side wide the Oval BA rising. Almost exactly the same image as my last image only better seeing conditions! There are dark barges on the STB/SSTB region. There are lots of dark spots on the STrZ to the left of the Oval BA.

The SEB is filled with spots while the EB is filled with blue festoons even on the white area! The NEB has curios dark red spots on it and htere are also white spots on the NEB. There is also a curious feature setting on the left side of the NEB. The NEB has a dark line and some white spots.

More images later as I need to sleep now! This is my second to the last images. Hopefully my earlier image will have more detail on the curious NEB feature.

This is probably my best image for this season!

Here's an image of Jupiter's "boring" side wide the Oval BA rising. Note that the Oval BA has a more defined border! Almost exactly the same image as my last image only better seeing conditions! There are dark barges on the STB/SSTB region. There are lots of dark spots on the STrZ to the left of the Oval BA.

The SEB is filled with spots while the EB is filled with blue festoons even on the white area! The NEB has curious dark red spots on it and there are also white spots on the NEB. There is also a curious feature setting on the left side of the NEB. The NEB has a dark line and some white spots. Also interesting is are a group of spots on the right side of the NEB/EB border.

This is probably my best image for this season!
