Seeing is a little better this evening but I had to image Jupiter at twilight!
Also in my second image,I was effectively using only half of my aperture because Jupiter is low in our roof.

Oval BA can be seen just past the CM. It is still very red but contrast is very low.
BA is very prominent in Methane Band. The SEB is still dark but it has a lot of activity at the area of the wake of the GRS.

The NEB is narrow and the Northern Temperate area looks quiet.

This time an image of Jupiter, certainly one of the last for this apparition.

Taken under very bad seeing conditions. Quick "flowing" seeing distorted the planet permanently.
 Some detail was resolvable despite these bad conditions, interesting especially around the GRS. Moon at left is Ganymed.
