You could see the smokers better on Oly ROV 1 earlier when I first noted it. They have been panning around a lot since then. By the time I remembered how to save a screen image in Firefox, it had gotten more difficult to see them. Right now the entire area is getting obscured with the discharge of multiple smokers. Oly ROV 2 is I believe showing some of the discharge from these smokers as clouds that move occasionally right to left. Oly Rov 2 is looking at the BOP assembly. Worse case would be they obscure the BOP and make work impossible. They needed to have the Top Kill and RW 1 ready to go when the Shut In was done. Apparently they only had one little over a week to work. That is a very strange pattern in the sea floor that Oly ROV 1 is showing right now. Keep an eye on those round depressions in the lower right corner. Were only two of them 20 - 30 minutes ago. Now three. My guess is, and it could be wrong because image quality now is much worse then this morning due to turbidity, but those depressions are actually smokers. Discharge moving down and slightly left. Need image enhancement to see them though. At any rate, shes a smoking. Expect visibility to get worse every hour. Just concentrate on visualizing smokers and you might get a grasp of what BP/Obama is seeing in high resolution.
