GRS heads up

[Moonshane]

If you have not seen Jupiter's great red spot it I'd on the Disk now, top right in the Newtonian view.

My quick sketches

Grs just coming onto disc now if you have a chance to observe. Clear at 80x or more in my scope.

Thanks for the alarm call Shane

I've got the GRS plus Io right on the limb now. Lovely and clear with my 4" refractor at 110x and no cool down time. I'm going to see what the little scope can do tonight

GRS about on the central meridian now. Io is crossing the disk but I can't see it now it's moved away from the limb.

I got 10 minutes on a very thin Moon before I was barned out. Then 10 minutes on Jupiter but due to the time difference it would still be daylight in England, then very dark and unfriendly clouds came to see me and rained on everything, the temperature also dropped to 1 degree overnight, this is not real.
