Here is an image from this morning session,this was taken using an Astronomik Pro-Planet 807nm pass filter (passes 807nm ad longer). capture details were 20fps for 1 minute. The seeing was very good,with moderate amount of ground fog.
The GRS can be seen setting on the lower right. The NEB looks very complex.


Here's a colour image from the very end of this mornings session,taken only a few minutes before sunrise.
Oval BA can be seen setting at lower right,it is still very orange in colour. There is a white storm following behind it,this was also present last year. There's also a prominent orange spot in the north polar region.


One more image from the May 9 set,this one showing the GRS and Oval BA as well as an interesting set of small orange spots in between them. There seems to be a lot of thin blue streamers just north of the grs.

with Oval BA well placed at the centre of the image. The GRS is setting to the right.
The SEB-N is still a distinct thin green band,I can't recall seeing too many features before that are this obviously green,that's not a colour I associate with Jupiter

I had a crazy situation this morning. My filter wheel went crazy. I thought one of the filters got loose. I had to take it apart but all filters were tight. It was the power adapter that was loose!
The SEB is very light in this region. Note the blue feature of the EZ seem to extend into the SEB! Io's shadow is transiting the SEBn.
The NEB is very dark. Note the white spot on the mid-NEB. The NNTZ LRS can be seen as an orange spot.

I have attached some belated RGB, CH4, and UV Jupiter images from 9 May. Oval BA is still red but faintly visible due to the poor seeing.
