La Palma, Canary Islands

03:15 UT

RGB image on the left, L(R)RGB image on the right.

Probably the best capture of the evening. The seeing was fantastic for the altitude
(44 degrees)when the red-filtered image was taken: about 9/10.
Probably would have been 10/10 had the planet been higher in the sky.

The Great Red Spot is on display. Also the remnants of the impact scar,
discovered by Australian amateur Anthony Wesley, are visible to the south
(bottom right) of the planet.

to produce this colour image.
