Jupiter - 28th September 2011

Here is a drawing of Jupiter - it was fairly low at the time so not a lot of detail to be seen as seeing was poor, however in moments of better seeing the GRS showed some interesting detail.

That detail near the GRS is interesting isn't it? I was out the night before and got the GRS for the first time this season. Noticed how pale it is (starting to look more like a hollow), and the brighter divisions in the SEB either side of the spot. Also, the behaviour of the darker material as it butts up against the GRS is fascinating.

Great sketch.

Cheers Seb, the GRS is showing more detail this time than I have ever seen. As you say it's very pale though.
