Transparency was terrible this evening because of thin clouds.

The two dark spots on the NNTB has merged!! There is only one bigger dark spot now!

The SEB looks very chaotic.

Attached are two images,one from last night and one showing a comparison to a montha ago.
The two most obvious things are the shrinking of Jupite
r as the Earth moves away from opposition point and the elongation of the GRS.
It looks more eliptical now. The seeing was not as good as we had in January unfortunately with a layer of high cloud.

After 4 months without observing,for various reasons -health,bad weaether,
work ... - here is at last some Jupiter images from me,far from opposition.
As usual after a long time without problems,start was a bit difficult (unplugged cables in my eq. table,out of order battery,...).
I hence imaged late,with Jupiter only 45° high,but after all I am satisfied with the results for this new start:
