Some interesting activity noted in the southern temperate latitudes despite
poor seeing conditions.

Hi all,

Here are some Jupiter images from Nov 27th, caught
through a brief clearing in the rain clouds.
Weather has been dismal the last few days.

Despite the conditions, seeing was good, allowing the
GRS area to be captured. The NTB really seems
faded on the f. side of the disk. Also note the small
"white cloud" on the f. side of the GRS. The dark
shadow is cast by Ganymede. Also note the closeness of
one of the SSTC ovals, with one of
the cyclonic STZ spots.

Best Wishes
Damian
