Jupiter hit again?

Looks pretty good to me, and a 6" scope in Japan...

Just a caution on this - if the flash is on only one frame, it could be a cosmic ray hit on the imaging sensor - such things are not unknown. If it's on multiple frames then it's more than likely a real event of some kind.

Just played the vid and it apears to be on more than one frame

Interesting

S&T and other notable sites are now reporting it as well..

Caution noted Brian, but it didn't look like a CR strike

It appears that it was recorded at the same time by two observers, 800Km apart.

I think that is now three strikes this year.

Interesting - I'm observing Jupiter now and there is a nice white spot / oval right around that latitude on the N side of the NEB. Probably no link but it's a very nice feature !. There is some adjacent darkening of the NEB to the W of the white spot / oval as well.
