Thick high haze was a problem, but it seems the ovals still appear as an elongated spot as yesterday.

As reported earlier, and even enticed more by this fine image of Damian's, I am very much drawn to the rapidly changing morphology of the GRS....I think some attention is deserved there in coming days and weeks.
