Jupiter in the dusk sky of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. a pleasant summer evening by the great lake.
This image from NASA's Juno spacecraft provides a never-before-seen perspective on Jupiter's south pole.
The JunoCam instrument acquired the view on August 27, 2016, when the spacecraft was about 58,700 miles (94,500 kilometers) above the polar region. At this point, the spacecraft was about an hour past its closest approach, and fine detail in the south polar region is clearly resolved.
Unlike the equatorial region's familiar structure of belts and zones, the poles are mottled by clockwise and counterclockwise rotating storms of various sizes, similar to giant versions of terrestrial hurricanes. The south pole has never been seen from this viewpoint, although the Cassini spacecraft was able to observe most of the polar region at highly oblique angles as it flew past Jupiter on its way to Saturn in 2000 (see PIA07784).
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, manages the Juno mission for the principal investigator, Scott Bolton, of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. The Juno mission is part of the New Frontiers Program managed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, built the spacecraft. JPL is a division of Caltech in Pasadena.

Jupiter in the early hours of 16th January 2016
Celestron Edge HD 11, ASI120M camera
Processed using AS!2, Registax6 & PS CS6
The Galilean moons of Jupiter Ganymede Europa Callisto.
It’s always amazing to see it through my camera.
Thank you for all faves and kind comments.
This is a summary of drawings taken on three consecutive evenings during the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction. Over the three days’ worth of drawings one can see Jupiter and Saturn sliding past one another.
The drawings all used the same telescope & eyepiece and are oriented with north at the top.

An image of Jupiter taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light on Aug. 25, 2020, is giving researchers an entirely new view of the giant planet and offers insights into the altitude and distribution of the planet's haze and particles. This complements Hubble’s visible-light pictures that show the ever-changing cloud patterns.
In this photo, the parts of Jupiter’s atmosphere that are at higher altitude, especially over the poles, look red from atmospheric particles absorbing ultraviolet light. Conversely, the blue-hued areas represent the ultraviolet light being reflected off the planet. A new storm at upper left, which erupted on Aug. 18, 2020, is grabbing the attention of scientists in this image. The “clumps” trailing the white plume appear to be absorbing ultraviolet light, similar to the center of the Great Red Spot, and Red Spot Jr. directly below it. This provides researchers with more evidence that this storm may last longer on Jupiter than most storms.

Jupiter with the Great Red Spot visible. Accompanied by one of the Galilean moons, Callisto.
Picture was taken with:
Sky-watcher Skymax 102, Celestron 2x Barlow and ZWO ASI 120MC-S (on a Star Adventurer Pro)
Recorded in Firecapture, 10% of 2000 frames stacked in Autostakkert, and then sharpened in Registax 6. 😉
Jupiter and Venus moving towards conjunction. Composite of two images taken a day apart on 10th and 11th June showing their apparent movement in just 24 hours.
Last night was wonderfully clear, so I took the opportunity for a couple of shots of Jupiter as I had read somewhere that it is at its closest to Earth for around 59 years. I took two shots - one to expose it as a very bright disc that also shows the four larger moons, and the other to show some surface detail which I just managed to pick up in the form of a few cloud bands.
Not exciting shots, but I am a bit of a space nerd at heart, so I couldn't miss the opportunity.
Handheld shots taken almost straight up as Jupiter was almost overhead near midnight. Both shots are heavily cropped right down to around 5mp.
A week after their close conjunction, Venus and Jupiter are now almost 7 degrees apart. First image with new Canon R10.
Sunset from the Cato Bridge in Jupiter, FL. 1-17-17. Amazing colors tonight ahead of a cold front this weekend. Long exposure of 130 seconds using ND graduated filter and a ND filter stacked.

This image of Jupiter's southern hemisphere was captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft on the outbound leg of a close flyby of the gas-giant planet. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this image using data from the spacecraft's JunoCam imager.
The color-enhanced image was taken at 11:31 p.m. PDT on May 23, 2018 (2:31 a.m. EDT on May 24), as the spacecraft performed its 13th close flyby of Jupiter. At the time, Juno was about 44,300 miles (71,400 kilometers) from the planet's cloud tops, above a southern latitude of 71 degrees.
JunoCam takes advantage of Juno's unique polar orbit, studying the atmospheric dynamics and clouds right up to Jupiter's poles, which no spacecraft has ever done before.

Lens manufactured by Kazan Optical-Mechanical Factory.(KOMZ) 435 miles of Moscow, in the Autonomous Republic of Tatar
My first attempt to take picture of Jupiter with Galilean Moons. I took only two pictures by Nikon Z 7 + Sigma 150-600 @ 600, f 6,3. First at Exp 1/10 s, ISO 1250 where are Galilean Moons good visible and Jupiter is overexposed, second at Exp. 1/20 s, ISO 400 where is Jupiter "correctly " exposed and Galilean Moons almost not visible. No mounting, only tripod. Blended and edited in Adobe PS. Cropped.

Originally these were used by the german army as airfield fire trucks. After they were taken out of service some of them came to civil fire departments.
First attempt at capturing Jupiter. The North Equatorial Belt and the Great Red Eye are slightly visible. Jupiter's moon Ganymede is visible to the right.
Early morning Jupiter hunt
Jupiter this morning between 05:52 and 06:40. The Great Red Spot (GRS) was watching us :) The GRS is so big that it could swallow our little lovely planet Earth.
Also how amazing the fast rotation of this planet. It completes one full rotation around its axis in less than 10 hours...
I took 7 videos which I have stacked and processed, then later made this animation from the 7 photos.
Equipment:
Skywatcher 127/1500 maksutov tube
Skywatcher Allview mount
ASI 224MC colour camera
TeleVue Powermate 2.5x
ZWO ADC
A silver Jupiter 9 photographed with a silver Helios 44, early 13 blades version.
I decided to include both these lenses and this photo in a video I've just posted on the best M42 lenses (even though they are M39 lenses!!)
It’s an early morning in February, about half an hour before the first traces of twilight will appear. I’m near the northern shore of Mono Lake. It is cold, about 15 ºF (-9 ºC), and completely quiet. I hear nothing other than my own footsteps, and, once, a bird somewhere on the water. It is very dark, with no artificial light visible on the horizon. The Milky Way forms a wide glowing band across the southeastern sky. Last night it was cloudy, but now the sky is so clear that even the dark dust lanes within the Milky way are easy to see. Jupiter has just climbed above the distant mountains, and it shines bright enough to form a visible reflection on the surface of the lake. Time to set up the camera and take a picture…
The photo is a stack of 64 frames with a total exposure time of 512 seconds at ISO 12800, f/2.8. The three brightest yellowish points in the sky are the star Antares near the upper right corner, Mars close to the middle of the picture, and Jupiter just above the horizon. The small “spike” coming out of the lower left side of Jupiter is formed by the Jovian moons Callisto, Ganymede and Io, which are lined up in a row but too close together to be individually resolved in this picture.
Jupiter, Aug 20 2021. I had my Questar 3.5" scope serviced at the Mother Ship in New Hope, PA. It seems to be working nicely, this capture was very simple using the camera in the eyepiece port with the Questar barlow. That's Io moving away from the face having just completed a transit..

August 13, 2021 - Jupiter with the GRS and the transit of moon Io.
This photo was not shot with an SCT but an RC10. These are actually less suitable for planetary photography due to the relatively large secondary mirror obstruction. But I hope I have proven that it is possible after all 😄
Normally I don't do much planet photography, so this edit took me days. I had a new ASI 462MC and ZWO ADC that I had no experience with. So, especially during editing, I started again countless times looking for the best settings and workflow. In the end it worked out!
I am very happy with this shot 😎
