Thanks very much Julie, look forward to seeing your efforts. This and the following apparitions of Jupiter will be our worst for some time with Jup being a relatively low alt target,but then it will head back our way. I tell the Northern Hemisphere imagers that it is only on lone.

Your are spot on Mike, the official designation for this oval is BA. it has been known for many years but back in 2006 when it first turned red it was also known as Red Junior. Over recent years there have been 3 red spots of note on Jupiter, the GRS, Oval BA and the LRS in the NNTrZ. Astronomers tend not to be very imaginative with naming such things, the LRS being the little red spot.
