Hello Everyone...

I have attached a set of images captured on Nov 16.  They include IR and 
Methane band images.  There is a great deal of activity along the north 
edge of the NEB, with several large dark marking present, the preceeding 
pair appear to have a loop of material between them which is contrasted 
against the EZ.  There is also a dark spot in the STeZ or on the edge of 
the STeB which can be seen approaching the CM as the image sequences 
proceed.  There appears to be a lighterzone immediately preceeding this 
spot which is especially visible in the methane images.  Io is emerging 
from behind the Disk of Jupiter in a few images, cropped out of most 
though.

All images taken through my 30cm SCT at F40 (eyepiece projection) and 
Pixcel 237 CCD camera.  I was trying a new setup and got the f ratio too 
high.  This resulted in longer exposures than ideally required.  Seeing 
was good, 6/10 on average.  Air temp was -12c.

Please let me know if you have any questrions.

Take care,
Brian
