PJ23_28
I'd wondered if sometime JunoCam would capture an annular footprint image.

And with enhanced contrast/colors:

These images are interesting because of a very long haze band among other things. The band appears to cast a brownish shadow on the cloud deck below in the enhanced images. Below is an image where a stronger contrast stretch has been applied. The shadow is indicated with arrows; the haze band itself appears slightly brighter and bluer/whiter than the surrounding areas. Latitudes are planetographic and longitudes in system 3.

By the way I have noticed that for the PJ23 images I have needed to add a much smaller value to START_TIME than has been typical. I haven't processed a lot so far though (I have been concentrating on software development for increased automation and bigger accuracy when doing limb fits). It's possible that I've messed up which SPICE files I'm using although at first glance this didn't seem to be the case. The resulting images look perfectly normal despite this, i.e. good R/G/B alignment and nothing strange at the limb in map-projected images.

One thing I've found is that if possible you should wait for the reconstructed SPK files before trying to process, it has made a big difference for some orbits.

The last image pair looks especially interesting. The enhanced image reveals pastel colors above and slightly left of center. The visual impression is that they seem to be associated with very bright clouds. These colors are a real feature and not a processing artifact. They are also visible in the true color/contrast version but look far more subdued there. The colors also appear in versions of image PJ23_20 processed by others, for example in Gerald's images. Hints of pastel colors have also been visible in some earlier JunoCam images (e.g. image PJ9_81) but they are particularly strong in this image.

For cosmetic purposes, a small gap on Jupiter's limb near the bottom in the last image pair was filled using data from image PJ23_21.

Mean and Stddev of my START_TIME adjustments for PJ23 are similar to other perijoves. (Using predict SPK since reconstructed isn't available yet).
