Techniques for validly comparing astronomical observations of Jupiter in the period 1979-1980 are defined, and details of the observations are presented. The necessity of establishing a common scale of observations, in terms of the measurements of the bands of Jupiter and the anotation of limb observations in all reports is stressed. The opposition of Jupiter with Regulus and Mars is described, together with phenomena occurring in the south south temperate zone, the south south temperate band, and zone south of the south temperate zone. Observations of the south temperate band, as well as the two equatorial bands with a 60 mm lens, are reviewed. Shape changes and positions of the White Oval Spots are reported, and detection of disturbances in the south tropical zone at 200 deg is noted. The traverse of the Great Red Spot across the viewed hemisphere is traced and found to remain stationary at 58 deg. The persistence of a white spot in the equatorial zone south and dark spots in the north north equatorial band are mentioned.
