The planet was monitored from 2003 September 19 to 2004 August 7, with plenty of digital images and a few visual observations. Undulations in latitude were shown by many belts, with SSTB, STB and NNTB spiralling so as to overpose parallel to themselves after a turn. Bright SPH and an SPB were recorded in the SPR, with spots discernible to about 60°S. The SSTZ anti-cyclonic white ovals were prominent, so as oval BA, well visible amidst dark SSTB/STB features; it was reached by a prograding STB dark sector. A dark STZ spot surpassed the GRS and then became a diagonal streak. The GRS was pale red, with a darker S. edge and a central condensation, followed by the usual train of white spots in SEB. This belt had much structure, with white SEBZ, a central dark component and projections on both edges. EZ was 3/4 veiled and EB was systematically S. of the equator; NEBs activity consisted of the usual festoons, often distorted through the Zone by the wind speed shear, and prominent blue bars on the edge of the belt. The NEB N. edge underwent a new Northern expansion in April; its barges were few and faint, while Roger's Z bay decelerated. A continuous NTrB was present, with NTB very faint; they were blue, while NNTB had a warm hue and the NNTBs jetstream was very active. Many faint belt sectors were recorded N. of it, with spots to about 60°N.
