Image Description:
This is a passable webcam image of Jupiter on a night of lousy seeing. This webcam image blows away this old one taken with a Digital Rebel. The not-so-great, not-so-red spot <grin> is just left of center. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is that faint red blob just to the left of the top of Jupiter. Jupiter's North is up.
