Jupiter in excellent conditions,seeing a steady 9/10; note the reddish obscuration,
spanning longitudinally across the STrZ,this seen particularly vividly in BLUE light
(south is UP). Following this feature is a large and prominent festoon bridging the
SEBs to the STrB.
I believe that this image,taken under steadier skies that the previous one sent today AND processed without
color artifact,suggests that this obscuration is not an artifact,but is a true spreading of a reddish opaque
feature longitudinally within the STrZ. This feature was also clearly evident as a reddish
shading visually on the computer screen during imaging.
Note also the very turbulent nature of the NEBn,as well as areas north of that in
higher latitudes. Much activity is noted within the NEBzone and within the NEZ.
An incredible night with so much detail and activity that one has difficulty knowing
where to start in descriptive narrative. An outstanding sight.

Seeing was perfect this morning but transparency was poor because of thin clouds. This is the region between the STrD-2 and Oval BA.
The NTrZ is very busy here. The disturbance has really grown a lot from 2 days ago! It is really exciting to see this region evolve!
The SEBs seems to be fading and getting lighter in color.

I am sending a picture I have taken of Jupiter for the first time.
My telescope was made by an amateur telescope maker here in Brazil.
