JUPITER 26/11/10

[perrin6]

My first Jupiter sketch posting - just a quick one to record the positions of main features. Used my 13.2 inch masked down to 11.75 inch to increase contrast. Seeing was quite steady but contrast was low for some reason and colours were quite muted:-

NTeB had long dark line. There was a barge (corret term ?) in the NTrZ which seemed to effect the part of the NEB closest to it, causing it to bow S.wards.

NEB was fairly featureless except for protuberences esp. one projecting into EZ near W. limb and a linear festoon (correct term.?) on the central meridian.

SEB was faint except for S. edge adjacent to GRS and continuing W.wards, also appearing to connect with linear feature in STeB E. of GRS. GRS was orange had a dark S. edge.

STZ N. edge was dark and skirted around GRS. Also STeZ had light features in W. half which may have contained a white oval (??).
