Subject: Jupiter Images (Nov 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd.)

Hi all,

Here are Jupiter images from Nov 20th, 21st, 22nd, and
23rd, and a projection map of the entire planet
from Nov 21-22.

I call your attention to several features of interest:

Oval BA at L2=328 degs.
Looks very faded and chaotic - more so than i can ever
recall it looking in the past!. Visually,
the dark elongated spot marking its f. edge is all
that can be discerned.

STO at L2=345 degs.
F. Oval BA. Also appears with very little dark
material circulating around its rim.

Faded sector of SSTB at L2=317 to 34 degs.
Appears very similar to the one followed during
1999-2000. I suspect this is possibly a closed
circulation, since it has been present since at least
Sep, with a well defined f. end.

GRS at L2=82 degs.
Its colour continues to appear intesified, both
visually, and with CCD.

Group of 5 SSTC ovals f. GRS.
Note the two cyclonic spots in the STZ at L2=123 and
162 degs. Any collisions possible this time around
i wonder?.

Dark STrZ spot at L2=313 degs.
Appears dark and well defined, and oval in shape.

NTB f. the GRS.
Appears rather faded.

Overall, Oval BA's current appearance is very
interesting. The dark material usually present marking
its rim has completely faded, but also, it appears
rather chaotic. This is certainly as faint as it has
ever been,
comparable to Oval BE's appearance during 1998.

Best Wishes

Damian
