Subject: preliminary images (jan 25 2002)

Hello all,

As I'm not sure that tomorrow I will have time to finish processing and
labeling the Jupiter images just obtained, I'm sending some preliminary
data... a RGB set and a "working hypothesis" with methane+ IR that
obviously has to be confirmed, perhaps using planisphere projections. It is
the only RGB set I got, but I have more IR, methane and also clear filter
images.

The methane image is a single 5min integration, IR is the average of
several 15sec integrations and for RGB I averaged several 3.5sec 4,5 sec
and 10sec raws.

Seeing was good for some moments.

Although the SE disturbance is well seen and there is plenty of activity on
the NEB, I will just focus on BA. It does look it has an internal (central)
substructure, at least in IR, R and G filters. In addition, the BA
methane-bright spot is indeed smaller than the IR and visible counterparts.
It also looks round. When superimposing the methane and IR images, obtained
a few minutes apart, the BA methane-bright spot appears to co-localize with
the BA's (central) substructure, thus leaving a methane-negative periphery.

Good observations

Antonio
