Condition was terrible because of heat plumes from my roof. Jupiter is not very close to Venus.
The SEB has some activity. Both the SEB and NEB are very ready. The white ovals on the northern edge of the NEB are very prominent.
I was confused that the dark "shadow" at the NTB was bright in methane band. Checking Winjupos, I found out that the shadow is the dark moon Callisto itself! Note the dark banding at the NNTZ.
All in all, it seems that Jupiter is quiet now after the turbulent upheaval last year. The color of the SEB is now the same as the NEB. Only the southern temperate area is still pale.
