ALPO members have been making images of the the impact spot (Bird’s Strike) since Anthony announced its discovery.   Hans Joerg Mettig from Jupos.org in Freiburg Germany did convert a nice number of them to polar views.
I decided to put these in an animation so one could see how the spot evolved between 7/19 and 8/7. Here the result of the animation with images from Anthony Wesley, Damien Peach, Joel Warren, Paulo Casquinha, Fabio Carvalho with Hans Joerg Mettig providing the conversion to polar view.

It is interesting to see how early on a spot broke off and moved north while than it got pushed back into the main stream of the belt.
