12. The intensity of the scattered light from Jupiter was about five times that of the background sky level and was 20% of the peak intensity of the object in J band. It was about half of the background and 10% of the peak intensity of the object in H band. A linear function was fitted to the scattered light, which was thus subtracted from the background. The errors of the photometry include the possible incompleteness of the removal of scattered light.
