Jupiter in Very Good Seeing
A lot of details are visible in this image. The upper (southern) equatorial belt is showing a lot of turbulence, and there are many write ovals all over the disc.
Large blue festoons appear with regular intervals in the lower (northern) equatorial belt and several very dark spots are visible too.
