| Jupiter report by V.della Vecchia |
Assembling data from 5-6-7 January methane sessions I was able to produce these two complete polar map projections (at the bottom left, the WinJupos map name gives the start/end time of the observations). As far as I know, this kind of map has never been made before at amateur level. The two vortex appear remarkably different. The northern is less bright and shows two spiral arms consistent with a counterclockwise (prograde) rotation. The southern vortex is much brighter, with an indented, irregular rim."![]()
