Spots on Jupiter seen from Manchester in 1869

 On September 22nd 1869 Mr Henry Ormesher in Manchester observed 3 dusky spots on the disc of the planet Jupiter. They were situated on the upper large belt and seemed to convey the impression that his atmosphere was much disturbed. 

I believe he used a 5.25 inch refractor, I don’t know the maker of this instrument.
