Description

Having carried out my first Jupiter image for months, I thought I would compare it with an image from late September 2020, when the turbulence in the equatorial clouds was at its height.

Here is the comparison. The same camera, ADC and scope were used, but Jupiter is about 20 degrees lower now than in September, so the image does not have the resolution of the earlier one. Nevertheless I think the changes in the EB and SEB are revealing. The streak of ochre in the EB, first visible around April 2018 in my images, remains.
