I had terrible dew problem today.  Fortunately,my flexi dew shield solved the problem.  
Heavy dew means good seeing. Seeing was just stunning this evening. I was able to catch the Red Oval BA and Ganymede!
Surface details can be seen in Ganymede.
While the white center of Oval BA was resolved. Note the bright outbreak in the NEB. [Christopher Go : Cebu Philippines]

Imaged Jupiter last evening in good seeing,better than the previous night. 
At this rate of improvement the seeing should get to 10/10 by Thursday. Oval BA is well resolved as is Ganymede. Ganymede is seen particularly well in my animations.
There is a line of dark spots within the STrZ extending from Oval BA to the P limb.
The SEB has quite a long longitudinal feature running through it and there is well resolved knots of turbulence right along the Northern edge of the SEB.
There are some impressive festoons in the EZ and this section of the NEB looks particularly turbulent .
I note a small red oval in the NTeB between the CM and P limb with a quite thin streak of material heading from it back down toward the F limb. [Trevor Barry:Broken Hill:Australia]

Attached image has the Oval BA near the CM.  It was a clear nice
02 Mar evening with seeing and transparency above average.

Hello,here are observations made in good seeing during a gap between two low pressure systems over Greece.

In methane band GRS is brigher south and darker north. In the colour image there are some white spots visible in it,maybe the split of the one observed by Chris Go the previous day.
In the R&IR image there is a dark ring in the GRS.The center is dark.
The  methane&RGB bright spot at +41.5 is still there.

The STB ghost is methane dark,The SEB "light patch" is methane invisible....
