observation Jupiter, 11-4-23 and 11-5-23.

observation Jupiter, 11-4-23 and 11-5-23.

the sky was not really good at first glance. Visually speaking to the naked eye.
but at the eyepice wow.
moonless sky, the atmosphere was calm, almost no turbulence.
I must say that Jupiter is very high in my sky.

the details on Jupiter were incredibly sharp, the bands were on real.
of a burnt orange yellow, filled with festoon.
Jupiter's north pole was very easily discernible.
the south pole a little less.
the two bands that we always see on Jupiter were accompanied by smaller bands this time, one to the north and one to the south.
The north pole was a more marked gray than usual, as was the south too.

measurement of the sky according to me 4.5 to 5, I saw details that I rarely saw that evening.

for the sky of 11-5-23
almost the same condition but I give 4 out of 5.
However, I was able to see an occultation of a satellite and the famous GRS.
the conditions allowed me to see the GRS and a white band surrounding it.

The GRS was bright orange with a darker center.
the bands were filled once again with festoons and black marks.
the sky is rapidly deteriorating which puts an end to my evening under the stars.
It was a very pleasant evening, two in a row. on top .
Thank you for taking the time to read me.

equipment used for these two evenings.
ts optic 125mm
delos 4.5 - 6 and 10.
mount eq6r pro .
ps: the eq6r pro makes a big difference in terms of focus, a lot less vibration when focusing.

Fantastic descriptions Jean-Yves. You got some really nice views of Jupiter under good seeing conditions and your TS125 seems to be doing a great job for you. Looks like a VROD effort in my book.

thank Alan ,
It was two memorable evenings.
125mm gives me very great satisfaction like eq6.
It’s crazy the difference this mount makes in terms of focusing.

For me, Jupiter looks great as a small orb with only the two main cloud bands visible. Maybe the GRS if I’m lucky!
Your magnificent views and descriptions are priceless Jean-Yves!

thanks Jim,
It's been a long time since I've seen Jupiter look so resplendent.
