Details:
Late in the evening on the 1st of July, I finally got to image Jupiter for the first time this year. I was amazed to see yet again how the area around the Great Red Spot has changed and there appears to be a dark red marking below the spot. As all the four main satellite moons of Jupiter are on show orbiting the planet, this is not a shadow transit so I’m assuming it may be a small active storm.
There is another feature that’s also very interesting, a large white oval storm in the South Temperate Zone that was not there last year. Usually these white oval areas are quite small, I’m finding this intriguing too. Jupiter is so interesting to observe because its turbulent atmosphere is always changing ☺
My image was taken with a Meade LX200 GPS 10 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at prime focus with a ZWO 120 MC-S camera and 3x Barlow lens attached. An AVI movie with 1200 frames was captured and stacked in RegiStax6 and processed in PS CS4.
