Jupiter Sketch February 21, 2025 9:05 PM local Time

This was a sketch I was able to make at the eyepiece of my scope on the evening of 2/21/2025 beginning at 9:05 PM mountain time.
The great red spot was making an appearance on this evening at a reasonable hour.
CM1 283.6°, CM2 38.6°, 203.1°
This was the best view I have had this year of Jupiter.
