Jupiter 16/07/2020

Hi all, long time since I've posted here. Thought I'd share with you my most recent sketch of Jupiter. Had a lovely view the other night and was blessed with some nice steady seeing conditions. It's been over 2 years since I last sketched Jupiter so I always find it amazing how dynamic its atmosphere is. Was using my 8" dob at the time.

Clear skies,

Thomas 😊

hi Thomas, I like your sketch very much. What do the numbers mean in the top one?

Thank you Mark. The numbers are a colour intensity estimate, 10 being total darkness and 1 being the lightest.
