Hi all

Looking at this image it looks like the impact is changing shape due to the fast rotation of Jupiter.It's getting bigger and more elongated very interesting .Please click on image to enlarge

Excellent stuff Carl!, plenty of structure in those images and vivid changes to the scar.

During my last visual obvs last night it sure looked more elongated during moments of good seeing.

Thanks Lads,

This is one Planet I won't get bored looking at. Great to image, the globe is ever changing. plus all the moon events to WOOHOO.  Lets hope for a clearer August. Also some good news for a change. I was asked to join the BAA Jupiter Section by John H. Rogers, the Jupiter Section Director I was gob smacked with the news.

Carl.
