Webinar on Multispectral imaging for analysis of Jupiter’s atmosphere

Wednesday 1st Mar 2023

Many amateur observers take beautiful images showing the colours and methane-absorption of Jupiter’s multi-layered atmosphere, but the conclusions have been little more than descriptive, until now. Four international observers have recently developed carefully calibrated procedures for making and analysing these images, and will describe them in this webinar.
