GRS visible under full Moon?

The GRS should be on the meridian at 10 p.m. EST tonight, with Jupiter sufficiently high above the horizon, but the full Moon is going to be nearby, 5-6 degrees away. Will it make it more difficult to see the GRS?

Antonio, Thanks for the update. I may have to take a look at it. I do not think the moon will cause any problems. Got a nice view of Venus this evening around 3:45 CST, after finding it in 7x42 binoculars. It seems the crescent was discernible through the binoculars. smile
