Subject: Colour on Jupiter

Hi all,

The first colour images of this apparition, by Ikemura and Cidadao and
Akutsu, show the NEB is broad and reddish, as expected; and also a pale
yellow colour in the EZ(N).  This looks like the start of an EZ
coloration episode and it will be interesting to see how it
progresses.  Akutsu's UV images confirm the EZ(N) is darker.   Visual
colour impressions as well as multispectral CCD images will be of
interest.

Here are montages of the recent images which show the slight colour in
the EZ(N).

Best wishes,
