Hi all,

Here are some Jupiter images from early this morning - around 4 hrs 
prior to Clay's images.

Oval BA is well seen, and i suspect its rim has darkened since October, 
as i was able to see its outline quite easily visually. Also, the STrZ 
spot is now directly due north of BA. The NTB is also fading at these 
longitudes.

Best Wishes

Damian
