Conditions on Jupiter were the best so far this season, maybe 7/10 on average during this capture. Io and its shadow are well positioned here, and with sufficient averted imagination a dark spot can be seen near the south pole (top) on Io.
Oval BA is very faint, but there is another small storm adjacent to it at the same latitude that's even more visible, and a reddish spot between them. This might need closer wathcing to see what's going on here..
*Note both Io and its shadow have had their RGB layers realigned to compensate for its proper motion while the data was captured. Io was aligned and stacked separately to maximise the visible details.
cheers, Anthony
