Jupiter 2019-01-06 13:05 UTC

Description

Capturing data was very difficult due to clouds and poor seeing. Unfortunately, I missed a potentially great opportunity to catch Jupiter yesterday by sleeping through my alarm.

Notes:

The North Temperate Belt appears to have completely faded.
The North Equatorial Belt is very dark.
The Equatorial Zone appears to have continued to darken through solar conjunction.
The Great Red Spot potentially has no wake trailing it.

Equipment

ZWO ASI174MM
