Quite nice steady seeing tonight

The Great Red Spot has just come around the limb of the planet and into view. A couple of nice pale spots / eddies in the North Equatorial Belt just ahead of the GRS. Quite a lot of detail visible on the planet at the moment

Additional: Some nice plumes visible coming off the NEB from around the area that the pale spots are located and trailing into the EQ zone and back around the disk. A small dark spot / patch just to the S and slightly preceeding the GRS too.

Sounds good John. Looks nice here but I have two scopes and no eyepieces!!! [emoji13][emoji13][emoji13]

Waiting for another clear speel so I can see the GRS near the centre of the disc

Hard lines Steve.

Still OK here but v.cold and with increasing scudding clouds. Sleet forecast later.

I'm popping in and out of the house to warm up in between sessions at the eyepiece. I'm not as hardy as I used to be

[Ibbo!]

a bit like a skating rink out there

complete cloud now
