Abel sage Reged: 01/28/10 Loc: UK Jupiter in good seeing...       #5522295 - 11/16/12 05:45 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Greetings all, Atatched is a drawing of Jupiter I made last night. Although we were forecast low cloud and fog (which did eventually turn up) it was clear for a short time and the seeing conditions were rather good. Main points were as follows -The only part of the SSTB visible was a short section just above the two white ovals -STropB very prominent for a much of this longitude (it does fade again towards the end) -Some lovely structres present in the SEBz fol the GRS -EB prominent -No rifts detectred or suspected in this part of the NEB -NTropZ bright -NTB broad with darker sections present along the north and south borders -NPR may have contained some mottling-like structure. At 2355UT low cloud and then thick fog descended and observations were stopped. Best wishes, -Paul.
