Was just out and had a look at Calisto transiting along with the GRS. Weird seeing tonight. There is some low altitude, high speed turbulent layer, but it doesn't seem to be affecting the detail I can see. Just seems to be putting a river effect on Jupiter.

Just waiting for a few clouds to clear. The big event is starting around 0100 and it looks like it will be clear here. Get out and have a look if you can.

As always, the binoviewers make the whole thing that much more enjoyable.

Clear skies,

Tom

PS My OCA arrived this week. Rain all week, clear skies tonight. Am hoping be able to "whip it out" to "get some" later on tonight.

I was talking about whiping out my scope and getting some low power bino-views of course!!! Geeze!


Clear, sunny skies.

I'm watching Ganymede transit right now and I am seeing what looks like another great red spot in the NEB. It is directly above (south) of Ganymede itself right now. It is more rectangular shaped, but the darn thing definitely has a salmon color to it similar to the GRS. Anyone else seeing this?

Clear skies,

Tom

BTW, seeing is good and the 13 Naglers are fantastic.
