That is quite a picture of Jupiter here by HST. I enjoyed some great views of Jupiter the evening of 05-Sep using my 10-inch Newtonian but nothing like HST I viewed from 40x to 120x using #58 Green filter, many cloud bands and Great Red Spot rotating into view and across the central meridian that evening while I observed along with the Galilean moons. Saturn was also a great target that night too.
