Description

Even in the absence of the GRT, the queen of the planets remains a pleasure to observe or to image with its pastel colors and the variety of its cloudy activity. 

In the south of the planet, we can note the presence of white ovals (whirlpools) aligned like the portholes of a spacecraft. 

It is a L.IR.G.B image with L=IR obtained from 6x60s per IR. G.B channel.
(From 23 : 33 UT to 23 : 55 UT, 22 minutes of derotation with WinJupos).
