Happy new Jupiter everyone! Here are my first Jupiter images of the 2022-23 season, with the GRS in transit, and some NEBs activity on show. Some good seeing after all the rain, even with Jupiter only about 20-25deg high near sunrise. The GRS region at first glance looks similar to last season, with a short tail of darker material preceding it. Oval BA has passed the GRS, and all of the STB looks dark in this area. I can’t clearly distinguish WS6, but it may have moved - there is a slightly paler area of noise in the IR about 30deg preceding Oval BA, almost between BA and Io. The NEBs shows a large outbreak area above the GRS, with a long diagonal white streak in RGB & IR, turbulence with darker and lighter patches in CH4, and a string of dark spots in IR. The long diagonal streak may be between one of the NEB white ovals (paler spot in CH4) and the NEBs outbreak area. There seems to be more darker material above the dark south edge of the NEB compared to last season, with a streak and a loop in RGB. The EZ does not look quite as strongly red as last season. Europa’s shadow is to the left of the GRS, and Europa and Io are in the frame. Clear skies all,
