Well,here's my first Jupiter observation of the new apparition! I had some moments of good seeing,but alas Spode produced clouds before I could finish the drawing and so many fine details are lacking. Of course once the clouds cleared the seeing became hopeless and I gave up!
The SEB seems to be quite broad now,indeed I had some difficulty in locating when it started and ended on it's south boarder; not only is there all sorts of chaotic turbulence but a number of different colours also seem to be present,I had some difficulty in getting them. It also seemed that there was a darker irregular region along the SEB(s) southern boarder which extended into the STropZ and maybe into the STB,but I am far from certain of this. Certainly the SEB is much more active and a good a little broader compare to the last observation I made.
The NEB too was full of interesting structure,and I was under the impression the belt may have been a little thinner than it was before. No filters work done,nor transits/intensity estimates made as the sky was far to light by the end of the session.

Seeing was quite good for the altitude.

Here are some first images of Jupiter for me. Seeing was poor, but it was the occasion to test a new camera, the PLA-mx from iNova, that carries the ICX618ALA chip. The camera gives clean images and is promiseful for the future.
