Clyde Foster
We returned from our trip to Namibia yesterday afternoon,
and I am busy trying to catch up on all the latest news as we had limited connectivity in some of the places we visited.
A trip that may have some influence on my future imaging as we visited the Gamsberg region,
home of the IAS Observatory and the HESS Gamma Ray Observatory. We shall see.
I also visited the Cuno Hoffmeister Memorial Observatory just south of Windhoek and had discussions
with staff of the Astronomy/Astrophysics Dept of the University of Namibia.
A fruitful and informative trip,over and above the amazing beauty of the country.

I woke to fairly decent conditions this morning,with the GRS rising.
I noted the cluster of ovals at lower right which has two inclined structures nearby.
It looks like there are two ovals in the far south (one may be the LRS?) that are close.
There is a methane bright spot at upper right in the CH4.
I was able to tag on a few UV test captures at the end of the session,
with a recently acquired UV filter (thanks to Christophe Pellier for the input on the selection).

Here are my first images of Jupiter for this season.
Jupiter was only 25 deg above the horizon.
Seeing was not great.
I only used the QHY290M for all these images as I had no time to change camera as it was almost sunrise.

Oval BA can be seen just after the CM.  It is still very pale.  Note the the STB has become dark.
Note the elongated feature NW of Oval BA at the STrZ.  Is this a STrZ disturbance?
The SEB looks very strange.  Except for the reddish bands,the SEB looks very pale.
The EZ has a very strong ochre color.  The NEB looks quiet in this region.  It also has a very dark color.

STrZがかなり薄暗く、中央右にはSTBの断片らしき暗部も見えました。
