Description

An excellent night for planetary imaging, with the usual caveat of being too breezy for using the CGEM DX/C14.

Notes:

The North North Temperate Belt is full of dark clouds, possibly with a small red oval east of the central meridian.
The North Temperate Belt has a thin band of dark clouds running through it.
The NTB also has faint traces of orange still visible. The entire belt should darken again in a few years if it the normal cycle isn't disrupted.
The Equatorial Zone is still orange.
The Great Red Spot is rising.
The bright clouds that entered the GRS hollow a few days ago have now fully circled the storm.
The South Temperate belt has a small white oval near the central meridian.
