Jupiter 2 November, 2012


On problem I began to notice by this time was that the ever-present, west Texas dust was collecting on the optics, and was most noticeable when using the barlow lens. :-( As a result, I had to be very careful when in the image I had Jupiter to avoid seeing more "features" on the planet! As it is, there is one such "donut" visible near the North Equatorial Belt in the first image.
