Seeing was excellent this evening. I spent about an hour cooling my OTA with my CAT Cooler This gave me a better image quality!

The red ring of Oval BA is now very prominent after fading a few months ago!

Note the dark streak on the SEBs. Note that the activity of the EZ seem to be pushing into the southern half of the SEB.

The NEB is very well resolved and has a lot of activities. Note the outbreak which is affecting the new large NTrZ oval!

There are a lot of red ovals on the northern Temperate area. Note the huge NNTZ Little Red Spot (LRS) which is also prominent in Methane Band! Note also the little red ovals around the LRS. Note that the NNTZ LRS is now fully RED compared to last year when it was just a red ring like Oval BA!

Lastly, dark Callisto is moving closer to Jupiter. There are some prominent surface details resolved in my image. I had to brighten up Callisto because it is so dark!

Chris, Once again great images of Jupiter! Is the Oval BA right beside the Little Red Spot? As you can see by my question I'm not sure if I got that right. Thanks, Dean

Thanks guys.

Dean, the LRS is below on the Northern Hemisphere. Oval BA is at the STB.

Regards,
Chris
