In quite reasonable seeing, only had time for one 685nm IR data run. The North polar vortex is prominent and the vertices of the hexagon well seen. The concentric thin banding structure within the North polar collar (NPR) is we resolved. The fast moving pair of bright and dark spots are well seen but also a further well defined bright spot is leading the other two. This formation is looking quite similar to the triple vortex which formed 2012 and was well seen through to 2016. This current third leading spot has been resolved for at least this last month. I measure the leading bright spot to be at approx Lat+62.8 L3 231.4 dark spot Lat+63.1 L3 237.2 bright spot Lat62.8 L3 243.7[Trevor Barry:Broken Hill:Australia]
