Jupiter's clouds - 619 nnmts filter
The images shown here demonstrate the power of these filters in studies of cloud stratigraphy. The images cover latitudes from about 15 North at the top down to the Southern Polar Region at the bottom. (...)

The most prominent feature seen in all 3 filters is the Polar Stratospheric Haze that makes Jupiter bright near the Pole. The equatorial band is also very bright in the strong 890-nnmts image and to a lesser extent in the 727 band, but is subdued in the weak 619-nnmts image. These are high, thin, haze layers that are nearly transparent at wavelengths outside the methane absorption bands. 
Another prominent feature is the Great Red Spot: about a third of it appears at the right-hand edge of the frame. 
It is a bright feature in methane absorption because it has extensive cloud cover reaching to high altitude. 
A wisp of high thin cloud can be seen trailing off its western rim in the 2nd and 3rd image.
