Jupiter 27th Feb

[Alan]

Looks like we were all out on the 27th to catch the Europa transit. Here's my first vid of the night, just caught Europa before it left the disk. Pretty good seeing, more to come.

C9.25 F25, 1.5x drizzle. DBK21/618

Nice work Alan well done!

[Alan]

Cheers Simon, still hoping for the seeing that will enable the fine detail to show before Jupiter starts to fade.

Not sure on your cloud cover tomorrow night Alan, but the 300mb chart looks good for tomorrow night if you do get the gaps.   It looks windier at my end of the country, but might get a run in for Jupiter and Mars.

Thanks Jake but it looks like low cloud cover here most of the night.  Meteoblue is forecasting clear skies here on Tuesday around 7-9pm so might give it a go then (unless of course it all changes in the meantime !!). Good luck with Jupiter and Mars
