I have an early start this year. Jupiter was only around 20 degrees above the horizon when I imaged this morning. Seeing was good for this altitude.
Jupiter seems to have quieted down. Oval BA is visible on the left. The ring can still be seen in the blue channel so it is technically still red. But it's color is a paler than last year. Will it turn white this year? Who knows...
The SEB and the NEB has the same dark red color. The mid-SEB section is very busy. The EZ looks quiet with little festoon activity. The NEB is also devoid of activity. It is just dark red. The NTB is distinct. The polar regions are dark.

  今朝は透明度が良く、Oval BAが見えていました。セブでも30度以下の低空では像がフヤフヤですが、
30度以上になるとシンチレーションが少なくなり、60度では細かなブレとなるパターンです。
今年は高度が高くなるので良く見えるはずです。
  BAはII=4.4°、幅は9.3°です。
