Correspondence to Maurizio per his excellent image of January 12.
SHOWING DUPLICATE ovals at BA

Yes.....that is Oval BA, the one which is set for an
intersection/merge/passing of the GRS on or about March 3; you CLEARLY
have shown a good delineation here of the white oval BA into two
components.   This perhaps is due to current interactions of late as the
two features near one-another.

This is a very important development and one that you should report as
such to John Rogers and the others.  I am taking the liberty of
converting the last bitmap you sent to me into jpg and forwarding it to
my Jupiter list....this is a VERY significant development that needs to
be studied and watched carefully over the next few days and weeks.

Thanks again, Maurizio.  This is what makes dedicated observation and
monitoring of Jupiter exciting and rewarding.

  Clay,

      Here is the image, south up, with a black circle around the two
stacked up ovals.  The shot has been totally over-processed for clarity.


  Best,

  Maurizio

    Hey Maurizio -
    I see maybe a part of the problem in your posting; your photo was
sent as a TIFF and was a huge file.  I know that you will lose detail a
bit, but try sending as a jpg.  If you lose too much just forward them
and I will be happy to post up for you...

    Clay

      Hi Clay,

         Still haven't got the hang of the Yahoo thing, but I send this
shot from two nights ago for your inspection.  Looks like there are two
ovals totally stacked up on top of each other, just following the GRS.
Let me know what you think.



      Best,

      Maurizio
