Jupiter in 2018

During 2018, virtually all the planets are very low in the sky. This includes Jupiter. Since the house is to the South of the observatory, it blocks the Southern sky from the horizon up to 25 degrees altitude. The extension roof is up to 20 degrees. At opposition this year, Jupiter was only at 19 degrees altitude and so impossible to image from the observatory. As a result, I had a look at some of the Juno probe data to create a Jupiter image.
