The Jovian ring was imaged at 2.26+/-0.03 microns at approximately 7:00 UT on 
12 July, 1994, from NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility.  The image was coadded
from three 30-second exposures with sky subtracted.  The resolution was 0.31
arcseconds per pixel.  A S/N ~5 per pixel was obtained for the coadded images.
Photometry on the ring image is pending.

This is part of a program to monitor the effects of the dust from Comet
Shoemaker-Levy 9 on the Jovian ring system.  More images will be taken during
and after the impacts of the fragments.


The image was obtained by Philip Esterle (University of Maryland), Casey Lisse
(NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center), and Mark Shure (University of Hawaii).
