The sky was extremely turbulent after nearly three weeks of constant cloud, wind and rain. The gusty wind disrupted the seeing and shook the telescope and so sharpness is not as good as it might be here. Additionally, the reach of the 907mm telescope is not really sufficient for planetary imaging. However, Jupiter has recently just passed opposaition and was high (60.3°) at the meridian so this was a chance not to be missed.

The red spot is clearly visible along with the Galilean moon Io on the right of the frame.
