Jupiter May 29, 2006 This is my first image of Jupiter this season. The low altitude of Jupiter
(32 degrees) has made it a difficult target this year. The GRS is just coming into view and Io is
also shown in this image. Meade 8" LX90 @ f/35. DMK monochrome firewire camera for
luminance. Phillips ToUcam 840 for RGB.
