Description
A Jupiter texture from Hubble imagery showing the impact sites of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.I worked on this map a while ago when I did the bulk of this series, but I never finished because this map made some trouble. Even when disregarding the dark impact sites, there are unusual dark spots on Jupiter, making it impossible to calibrate this texture. When I do it my usual way, it looks far to pale. When I adjust it to my 2016 reference texture, contrast is far to high. So I did what I always do when I don't know what to do: I mixed both versions. Not the most accurate way, but the result is acceptable imo.
Anyways, the source imagery had some huge gaps, so I copied data from different longitudes. I assumed the source image used the same color filters from the 2007 map due to similar colors and processed it accordingly to produce more natural colors.

Nice.
It's similar to this one:
