Jupiter on September 23
An animated GIF covering 1 hour and a half rotation of Jupiter created from four images. The effect of the intense activity on the planet during the weeks before (three outbreaks within few days!) is now clearly visible on the entire northern hemisphere of Jupiter, with the various bands very jagged by the perturbations in progress..

Jupiter on September 23
1 hour and a half rotation of Jupiter in four sequences each created form 4 x 60" RGB videos. The effect of the intense activity on the planet during the weeks before (three outbreaks within few days!) is now clearly visible on the entire northern hemisphere of Jupiter, with the various bands very jagged by the perturbations in progress..

Jupiter and the North Temperate Belt outbreak I & III
Jupiter showing the third outbreak discovered on the North Temperate Belt less than two days before, showing an unusual iperactivity of the NTB. The panel presented here covers about 1 hour and half of imaging time, the third outbreak is the bright dot on the top right of the GRS. On the top left is also visible the first outbrak discovered several days earlier that is keeping spreading on the NTB. A "live "video showing the seeing at the time of the shooting is visible on youtube here. Jupiter was about 60 degrees of elevation during the video.

Jupiter and the North Temperate Belt outbreak evolution
Jupiter showing the evolution of the new outbreak on the North Temperate Belt that was first reported on August 18th.. The first image on the top left was taken on the same night and almost at the same time of the discovery image by Isao Miyazaki. The outbreak is the bright spot visible on the top left of this first image, and, as reported by BAA Jupiter Section, “is the start of a new outbreak of storms in the rapid jet-stream on the south edge of the North Temperate Belt (a NTBs jet outbreak). These are among the most energetic and fast-moving events that occur on Jupiter. Previous outbreaks in this series occurred in 2007, 2012, and 2016, though only the first was observed thoroughly, as the 2012 and 2016 events took place largely during solar conjunction.” The initial bright plume moved and expanded along the NTB the following days as I tried to document the event with the remaining images on the panel. The last image also show Jupiter’s moon IO eclipsing the planet at the moment of the imaging. C14 + Siebert 1.5x (@ f/16) - Drizzle 1.5x - ZWO ASI290MM - iOptron CEM120 - Singapore
