Tadashi Asada

I will be able to carry out imaging of Jupiter from 23 June to 26, and time may be about from 17:00 UT to 20:00 UT. The telescope I can use is very small, but I will try as many as possible.

Padma Yanamandra-Fisher

I shall be coordinating mid-ir spectral and imaging observations from Palomar from 20 - 23 June with Spectrocam 10; from UH88 from 19 - 26 June, optical/methane CCD observations and Glenn Orton will be at IRTF from 24-29 June with NSFCAM and Lyon 10 micron camera.
