Jupiter 20220726
This is Jupiter from the same morning as the Saturn post below. Tuesday 2022 July 26 at04:45 EDT or 08:45 UTC. Jupiter is at a much higher altitude than the last several years, and also much higher than Saturn. It is approaching its highest point but is competing against the rising brightness of the Sun.
The North Equatorial Belt (NEB) is narrow but dark in colour and contrast. No Great Red Spot is seen in this image but some smaller storms are seen on the NEB and the SEB.
This is an animation of all of the imaging runs from that night. The first two images in the run are only 30 second runs, resulting in only a thousand frames or so. There are two processed images of each frame, the best 10% and the best 25% of the run.
The processing workflow is:
firecapture .ser, autostakkert! v3 to png, registax wavelet processing, ImageMagick annotation and conversion to .gif and .mpg. Some dust spots are seen here as well.
