Hi,

I had really excellent conditions for Jupiter observimg throught last Saturday night with its associated stellite transits.

What really struck me is that the NTB appeared as a narrow line across Jupiter's disk. I've noticed and sketched it as a segment in the recent past. If last Saturday is an indicater, then maybe the NTB is coming back for visual obserevers.

Thanks, Sol Robbins

The NTB usually comes and goes rather gradually,I have to take a closer look at this at my next observation.
