There wasn't enough planetary data around to play with, so we posted the first chunk of PJ32 on missionjuno!

Here some heavily post-processed crops, including arbitrary white-balancing, of #36, #38, and #40:


With the closest approach slowly creeping northward from PJ to PJ, more and more detail of the northern folded filametary regions (FFRs) is going to be resolved.

Less or differently processed PJ32 images are linked to on this site.

The drafts of the red inbound lightning search images (bottom half of the page) contain probably hundreds of small brightish spots besides hot pixels, many of them probably energetic particle hit, several stars, and possibly some lightning detections. But its considerably less radiation hits than in approach images of previous PJs. So there may be a chance to distinguish most of them from the lightnings.

The first portion of the PJ32 drafts also contains the blue Io Images.
