A calm jet stream hovering over Central California last night provided great seeing.

Excellent result. And thanks for showing me what I wanted to capture last night but couldn't because of fog. That's quite the dramatic outbreak in the SEB. It'd be cool if it was the start of the SEB vanishing, which hasn't happened for quite a while now (2010).

Lovely image with lots of detail and nicely processed.  The moons make it a superb vista.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks All for the comments and likes!

 

The SEB outbreak certainly adds more interest to the 'boring' side of Jupiter. It will be fun to watch this unfold, as KiwiRay mentioned maybe leading up to the SEB vanishing?

 

Here is a slightly more enhanced image attempting to eek out a little more detail.

Still going through all of my data and just processed this one from earlier in the evening before Europa crept into the ROI.
