I made some rough sketches of the major features to help show their relative position.

Jupiter at 1:25 am showed three long, grayish festoons coming down from the NEB and stretching down and along in the EZ. One of the festoons began well after the center line of the planet. The second started about on the centerline (sorry not the correct term). The third started nearly above the GRS. This third festoon seemed to be connected to a long dark area on the lower side of the NEB.

There were dark red-brown "bars" on the northern side of the NEB. One roughly about the starting point of the second festoon and another a little forward of the starting point of the third festoon. Again, these were on the north side of the NEB and the festoons were on the south side of the NEB. These festoon looked to be longer than the length of the GRS.

The GRS was roughly half way between the limb and the center line of the planet. The GRS was generally pale but there was a darker area in the lower part of the GRS.

The SEB had an interesting white split down the middle ahead of the GRS. Later in the morning, this white split curved over the GRS with at least two more white areas following the first looking like a twisted rope.
