- \begin{itemize}
- \item \emph{North equatorial belt} strongly orange.
- \item \emph{South equatorial belt} fainter and thinner, showing revival.
- \item \emph{Polar regions} similar to south equatorial belt but slightly browner.
- \item Satellites observed:
- \begin{itemize}
- \item \emph{Europa:} (m$\mathsf{_v}$ = 5$\cdot$79 \cite{JPL});
- \item \emph{Ganymede:} (m$\mathsf{_v}$ = 5$\cdot$23 \cite{JPL});
- \item \emph{Callisto:} (m$\mathsf{_v}$ = 6$\cdot$46 \cite{JPL});
- \item \emph{Shadow transit of Io} ($\lambda$2 $\simeq$ 325\textdegree{}) discernable during moments of best seeing: actual transit not discernable.
