Imaging this evening was like having a gun on your head. It was mostly cloudy this evening but I had a few minutes break in the cloud. On the east and on the west,strong thunderstorms were raging! But seeing was very good so I took the risk ! 15 minutes after I imaged,the thunderstorm arrived in my area!
The GRS is almost at the CM. Note the area around the GRS! The NTB remnant is above the GRS. There are two ovals embedded on this remnant! Note also the reddish feature that seems to be radiating on the p. side of the GRS.
The large cyclonic oval above the GRS looks squashed. The SEBs is very pale! While the SED "tail" below the GRS looks very violent.
The SEB outbreak is rising in this image. Although the view is not very clear,it seems to have grown a lot since last week! I would have waited a few more minutes to image this outbreak but that would have been pushing my luck..
The EZ has really taken a reddish hue. Note the 3 bright spots at the EZn/NEBs at the CM. This should develop into rifts in this otherwise NEB region. Note the NEBn interacting with the NTB. The NTB has really settled down after it's violent revival! Indeed as John Rogers commented,the face of Jupiter has really changed!
