Jupiter on March 26th. Good seeing. Not much of note across this hemisphere, though the peculiar large reddish NTB spot is visible at upper right. C14 with Uranus-C camera.

Jupiter on February 27th. Continuing to work through the backlog of data. Good seeing for this session. An excellent view of the much expanded mid-SEB outbreak. The NTB revival is also impressively turbulent. The NNTZ-LRS is also quite striking in its appearance. C14 with Saturn

Mars on February 27th. Seeing was less good than earlier in the night for Jupiter. Syrtis Major is nicely on view. A weak equatorial cloud band is visible across the disk extending from Elysium. C14 with Uranus-C camera.

Although the impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 seems like a once-in-a-lifetime event, impacts still occur at Jupiter. You might be lucky enough to catch one. bit.ly/447jEC7

Jupiter with GRS and Io - February 26th. Very good seeing. The GRS is well placed and measured from this image it spans 12,719km x 9,162km in size - not even large enough to encompass a single Earth! The turbulent NTB revival was particularly complex around this time. C14 with

Mars on February 26th. Good seeing. This session gave an especially nice view of the famous Syrtis Blue Cloud - visible at far left. Mare Cimmerium is prominent toward bottom with the brilliant North Polar Cap at top. C14 with Saturn M-SQR camera.

Jupiter with four moons on February 25th. Fair to good seeing. All four Galilean satellites were quite close to the planet on this night. Europa is in transit at left with the highly elongated shadow of Ganymede below it. To the right are Io, Ganymede and Callisto. C14 with

Jupiter with four moons on February 25th. An earlier image from the 25th under slightly better seeing. All four Galilean moons are near the planet though Ganymede's shadow had yet to come on. Their differing size, colours and features are nicely seen. Clouds affected the later

Jupiter with Io transit - April 6th. Fair seeing with some better moments. Io and shadow are in transit. The interesting large reddish patch in the NTB/NTrZ is also visible. C14 with Saturn M-SQR camera.

Jupiter on April 7th. Fair seeing. The South Equatorial Disturbance (SED) is visible just right of centre. The NTB/NTZ is much less turbulent than its dramatic appearance back in Feb-Mar. C14 with Uranus-C camera.
