In the catalogue, the thumbnail for this object is cropped in on its subject, so that it can be seen at card size. This view here is the whole photograph, as I produced it.

It is 5.2 astronomical units from the Sun, and the International Astronomical Union recognises 95 moons for it. Its Great Red Spot is a vortex twice as wide as Earth, observed for more than three hundred years. The planet turns on itself in 9.9 hours. It is the exact opposite of the deep sky: Jupiter is bright and tiny. It asks for focal length and a steady sky, not hours of exposure. That is why this entry shows no cumulative exposure time.
