Jupiter important change or optical illusion?

Hi guys,

It seems that two of the STZ ovals were merging last night. I got it on a few images. However, I cannot vouch it is true, as it might as well be an optical illusion because of limb proximity. Perhaps interesting to follow up, as it will be better placed over the US than in Europe tonight.

Here is a double image.

Dominique,

The approach of these STZ ovals merits observation over the next few weeks. There may exist a vortex between the two ovals keeping them apart. Thank you for posting your excellent images of Jupiter.
