Comments: Imaged Jupiter August 24th 2021 in fair to good seeing, strangely, the R data was quite ordinary while the G and B was good. I note a tiny bright oval resolved at all wavelengths on the Southern edge of the NPR mid way between the F limb and CM. A long thin dark linear feature is resolved along the NNTeB with a series of compact dark spots below it.Three very well defined barges are resolved in the NEB. A thin red band dominates the Southern edge of the NEB while a orange haze remains over much of the EZ. A v-bright spot in the turbulence following the GRS is now very bright in Methane. I also note a thin wisp of material entering the GRS hollow and circulation can be seen within the GRS particularly in the IR data. The evolving remnant of the STB outburst is well seen.
