Jupiter Showing Off Its Spot

Jupiter Showing Off Its Spot

Sketch and Details by Serge Vieillard

At an Astronomy gathering (Astrociel Valdrôme 2010) to view the deep sky early in the night, the second part of the night became a time for pointing at planet Jupiter as the atmosphere settles down.
Serge writes: [roughly translated]
“Jupiter introduces a new aspect, with his well shaded off Northern equatorial belt, which further emphasizes the great red spot in a very original way. … four color drawing were made directly at the eyepiece of the 460mm telescope with some supplementation using the 600mm scope over two nights (August 11 and 12, 2010).”
Here are two of those sketches.
