Christopher Go (355mm SC)

Seeing was good this evening. Jupiter's altitude was in the 30s when I took this image.
In fact,the first image was taken 3min after sunset!

The first image shows Jupiter and Oval BA are already far apart! Oval BA can be seen setting on this image.
Note the interesting dark wake of Oval BA! Note also the white ovals following BA.

The bright feature on the SEB preceding the GRS is still there. Just curious what this is.
The GRS is rising on this image. The dark center and the dark edge ring is obvious.
The NEB looks complex and dark. The NTBn is still dark while the red color of the NTB seems to be fading.
Note the dark spots lining up on the NNTZ.

Here are my final images for this apparition. Taken from Mt Olympus, Cyprus.
Good seeing but the OTA wasn't cooled enough due to the big temperate difference from sea level to high altitude in the evening.
None the less Oval BA can be seen clearly along with the array of SSTC ovals.
