2010 Opposition
|
|
|

Poor seeing. Larger size of previous image. |

Poor seeing. The "boring" side of Jupiter
|
|
|

Larger size of previous image. Note Io and the features visible
|

Good seeing. Comparison betweem RRGB and RGB image |

Very good seeing. Larger size of previous image |
|

Very good seeing. The GRS is visible in the right edge of Jupiter. |

Poor to fair seeing. The GRS and Oval BA near the edge. |

Very good seeing. After some mechanical improvements the optical
tube seems to work good, although not even at its best. I think a
new intubation is needed
|
|

Larger size of previous image |

Good seeing. Second light of C14 scope. Improvements from
previous day, but the telescope seems to not perform at its best
|

Larger size of previous image |
|

First image with the new telescope, Celestron C14. Unfortunately
the telescope arrived to me in very bad mechanical and optical
conditions. Some work (quite expensive) has been done, but still
something to fix
|

Very good seeing. Larger size of July 14 image. Note the details
inside the GRS and oval BA
|

Good to very good seeing and excellent transparency gave my best
image of Jupiter so far
|
|

Very good seeing. Larger size of July 13 image
|

Very good seeing |

Excellent seeing. Pure RGB image. |
|

Excellent seeing. Larger size of July 12 image
|

Excellent seeing; many details visible on the disk |

Good to very good seeing. Larger size of July 11 image
|
|

Good to very good seeing. The GRS is rising |

Good seeing. Larger size of July 10 image |

Good seeing. Some small scale dark spots can be seen below the
diffraction limit of a 235 mm scope |
|

Good seeing. Reprocessing of July 4 image |

Good to very good seeing. Reprocessing of June 30 image
|

Good seeing. The great red spot is rising
|
|

Good to very good seeing in near infrared light. Finally Jupiter
shows many details. |

Jupiter in 2010, very poor seeing. In visible light the SEB (Southern
Equatorial Belt) is very faint. In methane light instead the
circulation seems to be normal
|

Jupiter, the great red spot and the moons, in daylight, with 1
micron IR filter and CCD camera.
|

Jupiter and the moons in broad daylight with 1 micron IR filter |

Comparison between different filters |

Fair seeing. Jupiter in 2007. Compare the details with 22nd march
2005 image to see the changes in the atmospheric circulation
|

Bad seeing. Jupiter imaged in broad daylight
|

Jupiter galileian moons at high resolution, compared with the NASA
Solar System Simulator. On the right, Amalthea, just 53 arcseconds
from the center of Jupiter. |

Very good seeing. The GRS dominates the image |

Very good to excellent seeing. Note the oval BA (will become the red
spot junior in 2006) at central meridian |

Fair seeing.The "boring" side of Jupiter |

Poor to fair seeing. First image of Jupiter with my new telescope. |
