Seeing was very good for a while this morning,again hard to estimate precisely but I'd guess well under 1",maybe 0.5" at the best when the small dark spots seen here were clearly visible in all channels.
The rift in the NEB has grown very complex,and there is also some more complex structures closer to the south pole (top) just above one of the intense dark spots.
The GRS continues to be very pale.

This image of Jupiter,featuring the GRS at mid-transit and Europa on the
left which had just finished tranist,was captured on Wednesday morning,
13th May local time in average seeing. Jupiter was still at a reasonably low
49‹ altitude when this shot was taken (first of the session),but
unfortunately the seeing only got worse with altitude and by 5am Ifd packed
up. The GRS is still quite pale compared to previous years,but the dark
centre and dark ring can still be seen. The seeing has turned bad here as
the wind has picked up,so looks like no imaging for a few days.
