Jupiter at about 20 degrees altitude above the eastern horizon in very unsteady seeing
conditions; nonetheless, some detail is noted in high northern latitudes (bottom of
globe), particularly a clearing of the NNTZ and associated darkening and thickening of the
NNTB.  There appears to be a white STrZ oval or spot interacting with the following edge
(right) and southern perimeter of the GRS as well as the prominent white STrZ large oval
seen plainly pr. the GRS nearing the left limb of the planet.
