I've imaged such things before, through a variety of telescopes and image
processing techniques. They do appear in Voyager and Galileo images, so
it's not unheard of. One of the things about imaging the planets is that
you can get better resolution of features, and certainly better
black-and-white and color contrast, than you can with the eye.

Hello,

Saturday night, I took a picture of Jupiter, low turbulence but poor
seeing.
The result is here http://images.ciel.free.fr/test/jupiter_10_04_04.jpg
You can clearly see blueish spots near one of the equatorial belt.
Is this color normal for Jupiter, or is there a problem with image
processing ?

The general color of the planet seems to fit with what I saw in the
eyepiece, so I think that the white balance is not so bad.
