A sketch of Jupiter made this morning 9th August 2009.
Tak FS 128 with Denk II binoviewer and zeiss jena 16mm orthos x162
seeing 4/10 improving to 7/10 in moments.
01-25 to 01-45 UT
North at top, as seen with star diagonal,preceedimg to left.
Callisto was in transit.
I re-photographed the sketch this morning,and it now looks virtually as the original in colouring.

Mike,
A beautiful rendering of Jupiter, and as dweller25 mentioned, it is a testament to your observing skill that you were able to capture the King so accurately, considering it's elevation above your horizon!

Hi Mike,
Nice job on your sketch. You captured Callisto at the perfect moment. You also saw the dark area that follows Oval BA (seen below Callisto's shadow in the South Tropical Zone).
I think you might have accidentally added an hour to the time of the sketch. See this image by Ian Sharp from the UK. He also captured Oval BA and the dark area following it. Ian's image has south up. Btw, your sketch holds up well in the comparison.

Beautiful sketch work of Jupiter and the Callisto transit
Makes me wish I'd taken the opportunity last night to observe.
Thanks for posting,

Mike,
An excellent observation of Jupiter showing detail over the major bands (NEB and SEB) and the transit of Callisto. I am glad that your observation agrees with the image of it. Thank you for sharing it with us all.
