Seeing excellent.  Note the incredible blue-gray festoon/extension from the
NEBs into the NEZ just east of the CM.  Also the excellent detailed fine
detail within the NEZ pr. that area.  This area of turbulence is beginning
to increase in both scope and intensity.

Hi all,

Here are some images from this evening. As the oval merger wasnt visible this evening,
good seeing of course prevailed!. Images clearly show B5 and B6, as well as streaks
across the STZ. Also note the nice blue NEBs feature.

Also find attached an image of Ganymede, this time showing Galileo Regio at CML=160 degs.
I used the camera in a small sub frame mode to obtain 3 frames/sec for this image
(which is composed of 18 x 0.20secs. Please find the data attached.
Hopefully conditions will hold up for the GRS area tomorrow night.

Best Wishes






Hi all,

I attach more images from March 27th, this one being the best sequence from that evening.
I am suprised so much can still be recorded given the Planet is so much smaller now!.
These were obtained during a period of very good seeing.
Note the tiny white oval in the STB streak, and also detail witin B-6, namely it seems
to consist of two dark spots.

Best Wishes
