Christopher Go (355mm SC)

Condition was terrible this morning. Seeing was unstable.

Oval BA can be seen setting on this image. The SEB looks complex.
Note the dark spot on the SEB.
Note the little red spot on the NTZ and the complex feature just north of it.

Imaged Jupiter this morning in hot & windy conditions,
the temp was still 31 degrees C at 2am and the hot North wind
made it difficult to keep Jove on the cameras chip,even inside my observatory.
Have 5 742nm IR data sets at approx 20 min intervals,the first at an alt of only 26 degrees.
The seeing was poor but improved a little as Jupiter rose to 35 degrees alt.
The IR worked a lot better than did the RGB's.
Have 2 RGB data sets approx 40 min's apart.
The 1st the GRS has just gone over the P limb and the 2nd Oval BA has just come into view from the F limb.

Also here's a comparison with almost identical CM2 values from 9 days ago (when I had superb seeing). A lot of changes!

I attached three Jupiter images taken between 5:50 and 6:40 UT,about 25 minutes apart.
Seeing was good,but there were occasional high,thin clouds.
