Hello,

Here's my latest image of Jupiter under 9/10 seeing conditions with 5/5 seeing!! Note the Oval BA very prominent. Is it disintegrating? There is a dark spot on the STrZ. Note the red spots on the NEB and a dark ring feature on the NTB.

There are lots of spots on the STB and dark red barges on the STB and the SSTB.

Chris

Chris,

Thank you for your excellent image of Jupiter showing much detail. The oval BA may not be disintegrating, but instead be partially obscured over it' northern border by high ammonia-ice clouds. We will have to monitor this in the future. The other features noted are interesting as well. Please keep up the good work.
