Jupiter rotating by Les Dickens

Prompted by the request from Peter for pictures to submit to the BBC One Show’s “Jupiter spot”, Les took a sequence of web cam images of Jupiter and its moons.

Les took video images every 20 mins or so from about 7:30 until midnight, and after processing composed this excellent animation.
