Description

For the first time in 2021 Jupiter was high enough in the morning sky and the seeing was good enough to capture a decent image.

I made 4 runs of 1 minute per colour channel and IR. The GRS is rotating out of view, but there is enough detail to see that the chimney remains open. I am surprised that the ochre colour of the EZ remains so intense. There is an interesting wavelike structure on the NTeB on the f side of the meridian.
