PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are re-processings of old Jupiter data I captured on the night of January 28-29, 2026 using my 6" SCT telescope and my phone camera. Move your mouse if on desktop/tap if on mobile on one side of the screen to activate labels and the other side to deactivate labels. The left side shows an animation of Jupiter rotating over a period of 70 minutes. There are 2 dark dots because Io's shadow had moved across Jupiter in the 2 frames I used to stitch the animation together, they are not features of Jupiter itself and are simply a result of lazy processing. There should only be one dark dot, Io's shadow. The right side shows a enhanced color still of the planet, colored how NASA likes to process Hubble images. In the bottom corner you can see 2 smaller pictures, these are different color processings of the planet. The warmer looking one on the far left is without color correction, and the other one is a white-balanced view, but it is not what you would see through the eyepiece, as Jupiter does have a yellow tinge to it. The resolution achieved here is something on the order of 1 arcsecond or a little less, perhaps 0.8 to 1 arcseconds per resolvable unit.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The labels are very nerdy and it's too late for me to explain them all because I need to do my geometry homework.
