Finally a few images with some interesting detail under steady
skies.....some really interesting activity beginning to show in and around the GRS.

 Jupiter in fair to good conditions, showing some remarkable detail within
southern regions; note particularly the area rotating into view (right) pr.
the GRS; two very prominent barges in NEBn, with B9 approaching the CM.
Large arched festoon from NEB into NEZ noted.

 Some remarkable activity around the GRS and to the south of it; wonderful
series of bright spots and ovals in S. Temperate regions; note the dark
streak pr. the GRS and considerable SEBzone activity following; diagonal
streak within GRS may be remant or associated with previous ring reported.
Very nice dark thick streaks noted in NTB and NNTB as well as some very subtle bright spots.

 Just beautiful detail, particularly pr. the GRS, showing much convective
activity in both tone and color; also note the interesting series of small
white spots in the NEBn and the delineation of that belt fol. those
features; NEB barge B9 is on CM in this image. Very nice streak pr. GRS and
note some degree of detail clearly visible within the spot itself.
