Jupiter in very turbulent and rolling conditions, making critical focusing nearly impossible. Some detail noted in the NEZ with two large yellow ovals near CM and associated blue-grey festoon. SEB s. component is highly segmented and a few dark barges in the north component are exhibited near the CM.
NOTE the very curious oval (large, about the overall size of the GRS) feature that appears centered within the latitudinal span of the South Equatorial Belts....this odd very low contrast feature is difficult to see, but is plainly evident as a dusky and featureless oval just on the Pr. side of the CM in the SEB; examine the images in both RED and GREEN light to better define this curious feature's total span...quite large and appears to be masking or altering belt detail in about a 12 degree longitude span in the SEB. This large oval is nearly transparent in BLUE light, and appears to be significantly differentiated in brightness, with the N. interior being significantly brighter than the souther counterpart.
