Seeing was around 7/10 with 3/5 transparency. It's white spots galore on Jupiter.

Starting from the SPR then to the SSTB then the STB. It's all white ovals!! The Oval BA setting in this image. There are the big ovals and some small ovals! Even cute ovals at the STB/STrB border just past the CM! I can count more than 20 white ovals!

The NEB seem to be very buys with a complex rift forming on the right side of the belt. The three white spots and the the three red spots on the NEB looks interesting. Now who says that there is a boring side of Jupiter!!

Chris

Hi Chris -

A very detailed image.
It seems that white spots are coming in threes today!

Great image, Chris. I've been trying to catch more ovals this year myself, but with the cloud belts odd rotations, it has rarely happened. Nice to see them well presented here though.
