    Thanks Neil. Yes, I'm still around and have been watching the forum to see what everyone was doing.

    I am still imaging but the old body is struggling with the contortions needed to see through the finderscope and eyepiece! 😁

    I have a few images to post up later. 

    By the way I was impressed with your images with the CC, very nice.

    Europa reappearance from eclipse 07-09-21

    Thanks Neil! I remember the first time I saw one through my first scope, Tal-1.  I couldn't work out what had happened, thought that I must have imagined it,

    until I looked at Skymap Pro.  After that I always checked to see what was going on.   Nowadays I rarely check anything!

    Thank you Craig.  I should have just had an early night instead of trying to sort it out.

    Thanks Simon. Yes, it was good to catch it, but if I hadn't seen Stu's heads-up I wouldn't have known about it.

    Thanks Martyn.  It was a real rushed job but it came out fairly well!

    A short gif of Europa reappearing from eclipse.
    Images captured from 20:41ut to 20:46ut, but I think Europa had reached maximum brightness before the last capture.

    After these captures Firecapture decided that it didn't recognise my camera, nor my ASI120mm and ASI120mc.  So after a few reboots and still no luck I called it a night. 

    I tried again yesterday during daylight and all seems to be fine, but it was cloudy last night & rain most of the day today & this evening, so it is back to the waiting game again!
