Seeing is still very turbulent and planet is low in east over the rising
heat of the city; nonetheless some detail is interesting in this image; note
the two very bright ovals/spots on the n. edge NEB/NTrZ with a NEBn barge
seemingly pr. each offset slightly to the south.  Also there is a very
bright series of smaller ovals in the northern 1/2 of the NEZ that may
actually be associated with the NEB s. edge, followed by an interesting dark
gray-ish streak within the NEZ.  Note also the development and darkening of
latitudes south of the SEBs just following the CM (to the right of center).

As usual no color corrections are made to the Jupiter patrol images and only
minimal post-processing will be implemented for the 2002-2003 apparition.
