The 24-inch telescope of the Capilla Peak Observatory of the
University of New Mexico was used to observe Jupiter during the
week of the impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy-9 onto Jupiter. Images
of Jupiter were obtained in several narrow-band interference
filters. The opacity in the spots is calculated as a function of
wavelength, and used to infer the distribution of the debris with
altitude.
