With the improvement of seeing,many details can be seen in this photo. GRS having distinct central nucleus.
What has puzzled me are the rosy tones in the STb,I do not know if it is malfunctioning or I had not gotten it in previous seasons.

The condition was a bit challenging this morning.  Seeing was very variable.  
Sometimes it was stable,at other times it was horrible!
Transparency was also variable due to thin clouds and haze. The GRS and the South Tropical Disturbance (STrD) are still interacting.
The wake of the STrD seems to have thinned out as it pushes towards the GRS.
The wake of the GRS is very turbulent! The South Polar Red Spot can be seen below the GRS. The NEB looks quiet except for the bright rift. In methane band,it looks quiet. [Christopher Go : Cebu Philippines]

Very poor seeing on the 8th so only one IR image.
