Did anyone see the "extra" moon last night next to Jupiter? Pretty faint, probably 8 or 9, but right in the plane of the other moons. I only had about 30 minutes of observing before the clouds moved in.

I did see it _right_ next to Callisto on friday night... at lower powers it was hard to tell which was the moon and which was the star! Higher powers clearly showed Callisto's disk.

I had gone out to catch the GRS transit... also took a picture (attached).
