I have already commented Jan25 images, and I will now make a very brief comparison with those of Jan27. BA continues to be very distinct on Jan 27, and still shows a cloud just N of it (unfortunately clouds here on Earth interrupted the session and only IR data was obtained showing BA; the oval was still near the f limb, but looked "normal" to me). The STr band continued to become distinct in its f end, that is near the GRS, leaving some tiny dark spots in its track. Currently the f end of the STr band is quite near the STr band oval. Comparing Jan 25 and 27 images the progression of the SE disturbance and apparent evolving rift activity in NEB is visible.

Also, the methane counterpart of BA continues to be smaller than in IR, and appears to occupy the central position in the "larger" IR oval. I will try to send the other IR+methane pairs, as well as clear and RGB images in a few days.

Your images are beautiful and you obviously are putting in a tremendous amount of work in both obtaining and processing these splendid examples for us to use as the face of Jupiter grows more intense by the night. However, something in the way you are SENDING your images has changed just in the last day and I suspect that not only am I - but many others - are losing much of your transmissions due to the file size. Whereas your earlier posts with splendid images were easily transmitted at around 0.5 to 0.6megs each (still a very large file, but worth the wait!), the ones I have received today are coming in at 2.8 to 3.6 MEGS and ultimately breaking down in communication; I have received one intact, that being a 1.6meg transmission. The latest two you have sent are about double that size and it finally just breaks down and provides only a partial image, with the latter portion incapable of being received due to file size. Can you please check to see what has changed and possible lower the file size to the original process in which you were sending? Your images are badly needed and much desired, so please continue to send. Thanks! Clay ---------------------------------------- Dr. P.
