Description

2021 was the first time I delved into planetary imaging from my usual solar and deep sky efforts.
Image processing and capture was a very different animal for me, as I knew it would be. What I wasn’t really prepared for was how different Jupiter would look from year to year. The cloud bands and colors are so much different today than in 2021, and it makes me wonder what 2024 will bring. For those with a penchant for “horizontal” cloud bands and north at the “top”, I apologize, for this 2021 image has neither, although with this particular apparition of our solar system’s largest planet it’s hard to tell north from south at first glance.
Enjoy the view!
