A frustrating morning - the seeing looked very good but a lot of haze and high cloud dropped the transparency by about 50%. Here are two images showing the contrast between a low altitude Jupiter and a not-quite-so-low altitude. The last image would have been taken with J at approx 50 degrees.

The shadow of Ganymede can be see in the second image, whit the "new" LRS is visible as an intense orange storm close to oval BA in the first image, with the GRS just sliding out of view.

regards, Bird
