About this image

This compares an image I took of Jupiter in 2011, the best that I took of that Jupiter cycle in excellent seeing when Jupiter was also relatively close to Earth in its 12 year cycle compared to an image taken on the night of 10th August 2022 in good seeing and with Jupiter a similar size. The changes to the Great Red Spot in size and features is very apparent.
