Waiting for Jupiter

Well, Jupiter has finally made its way back into the morning sky and away from the moon enough to give some quality 'Red Spot' views. While I didn't take the time to do any imaging, only had 45 minutes before the moon was high enough to scatter light off the dew, I did take full observing advantage of a well positioned Great Red Spot this morning.
Of course, when getting up early one has to sacrifice good Saturn viewing. Oh well.
Just thought you might want to know. wink
