Hello,

Seeing was around 8/10 tonight with transparency at around 4/5. Note the strange shape of the GRS due probably to the interaction with the STrZ spots. Note the NEB rifts. There are also lots of spots from the STB to the SPR.

Chris,

Another excellent image of Jupiter. The northern half of the Great Red Spot (GRS) appears obscured by bright material (ammonia-ice clouds from below?). The rest of the planet shows much detail as well.
