Superdeformation studies in {sup 189,191,192}Tl at Gammasphere are discussed. New results on {sup 191}Tl are the observation of interband transitions between the signature partner E2 bands and the measurement of an average quadrupole moment (Q{sub 0} = 18 {+-} 1 eb) for these superdeformed structures. These data enable them to derive absolute M1 strengths and confirm that the 81st proton occupies the [642]5/2 orbital. Tentative data for one superdeformed sequence in {sup 189}Tl are consistent with the prediction of a decrease in quadrupole deformation for the lightest nuclei at the limit of this island of superdeformation.
