Subject: Jupiter on Feb 19th & 23rd.

Hi all,

Here are a few images from recent nights. I have
enjoyed 2-3 nights of near perfect seeing this week,
and have been able to exploit this opportunity, to
gain some detailed images of the GRS area with SSTC
ovals, and NEBn White Spot Z, B1 & B6 area. Last
night's image was taken very late (due to clouds), and
Jupiter had almost disappeared over my roof, out of
view. I also note that Callisto shows some detail on
the Feb 19th image. Ganymede has also shown details
visually.

Of interest, is the zone following AWO 5. It seems to
have a slight red colouration to it. Also, the streak
of STB south of the GRS does seem to be broken up at
its f. end.

I still have many sessions from this month to send,
and will do so next week. The SEBs jetsream shows some
interesting activity in last nights image.

Best Wishes

Damian
