Lucky imaging of Jupiter from Hawaii obsy

Hello,

Saw this on the Grauniad website - not sure if this is old news or not, but the image is certainly striking?

Stay safe,

Not sure if I have seen that before but it is a stunning image.

Great image but I thought "us" amateurs had been using the "lucky imaging" technique for ages.     🙂

Nice image.
Though I did wonder then the text says "lightning strikes and storm systems forming around deep clouds of water ice and liquid."
The same words appear on Phys.org's website. Is that true?

It is also in the Astrophysical Journal paper linked in the link you gave.

So yes it is true.
