So, according to the voting page, apparently the spacecraft's being spun around to get the instruments pointed directly at the planet. Io and Ganymede will also be imaged during this pass, as they'll come into view of JunoCam two hours before and twelve hours after closest approach, respectively. For Io, the team are "planning to take two pictures - one exposed nominally and one that over-exposes Io to look for volcanic plumes extending above the surface." The Great Red Spot is also expected to come into view during the spacecraft's departure.

First batch of PJ12 images are available on missionjuno.

It's taking a while since most of the DSN passes are only 40 Kbps.

After a long night of PJ12 image processing, the sun is shining again.
First, here a link to the RGB drafts.

Now, the JPG version of reprojected images in reverse order:

Some of the images have been taken with TDI 3, one with TDI 6, in order to improve S/N for the CPCs (circumpolar cyclones). This caused overexposure of portions of the respective images.

Link to PNG version. The early approach images are white in these renditions due to the percentile-based exposure adjustment applied. I may render smaller crops for the approach sequence later; this will avoid the whitening.
Note the moon shadow in #41.

Quick question, what was the distance between the spacecraft and Io when Juno took its pictures of the moon?

If anyone answers this for Philip, can you also post which spice kernels were loaded to make the determination.

Using juno_pred_orbit.bsp at webgeocalc, the distance was about 550,000 km.
