Jupiter-20090822 - finally a break!
I got burned by lying, hiding clouds a week ago and a week before that was poor seeing. So it has been 3 weeks since my last good night on Jupiter.
Finally a break in clouds and good seeing too! I'd say the whole night's seeing was 6-8/10 and 3/5 transparency. Rare indeed!
I wasn't diligent enough to catch the Io occultation of Europa. I missed it by less than 30minutes! :( I did get setup and imaged this fine one before the clouds rolled back in.
I missed the occultation but didn't realize until after that the Wesley Impact Spot 2009 was nearing the CM. I'm not sure I see it.... Is that it in the lower right??? It's nearly gone if I got it at all...
Thanks,
Mike
