Jupiter Aug 26th NEB merger

Hi All,
Imaged Jupiter this morning in poor seeing over a 2 1/2 hr session.
There is a high pressure system on the way which should be centered over Broken Hill tomorrow night, but although the sky was clear this morning the seeing was still effected by a low pressure trough and the jetstream.

Following on from an alert of an iminent merger of two white ovals in the NEB issued by the BAA, I was able to image these two features albeit in poor seeing.

Have attached 2 of my RGB's, the first with the GRS and Oval BA and the second with the two white ovals in the NEB, very close together.

It will be interesting to follow this merger over the next several days.

Thanks for looking
Regards
Trevor
