Please find attached a drawing of Jupiter made this morning.  
The observation was difficult due to the amount of dew present- it was constantly dripping down the tube and onto the floor.
Everything was soaked by the time Jupiter had reached a reasonable altitude! Anyhow,the main points were: - STB and SSTB both present,SPR grey - SEB quite broad with a number of darker and lighter sections present. The shadow of Ganymede appeared to be on the extreme northern edge of the SEB. - The EZ contained a number of prominent blueish coloured festoons. - NEB was thinner than the SEB but also contained lighter and darker sections.
It's northern edge was rather curved in places. - NTB somewhat vague,but a darkish streak in or between the NTB/NNTB seemed to be present.

Imaged Jupiter this morning in fairly ordinary seeing,but then the alt was rather low. 
Jupiter is now rising to 30 degrees just before the Sun rises.
Have attached 3 of the 5 742nm IR data sets along with an animation of all 5 data sets which covers approx 42 minutes of rotation.
Oval BA precedes the GRS. There are two light ovals to the South of BA in the STZ? toward the following side of BA.
I note a dark spot within the GRS over on it's P edge.
The EZ is dominated by a formation of rather prominent festoons.
I also note a bright elongated feature in the NEB which is very close to the CM in my data from 19:19:30 UTC.
There also is a bright spot,probably in the NNTZ,not sure whether or not to characterize it as NNTZ or possibly NTZ.
This bright spot is well seen in the animation,moving from near the CM toward the P limb.
