Jupiter double transit

[budski]

Did anyone see/image the double transit last night? The clouds here were thicker than our Somerset clotted cream and nowhere near as tasty....

Weren't they just? I woke up and went to get a drink when the Moon should have been high in the sky and I couldn't even see where it ought to be through the cloud. Usually I can get some idea of its position because it lights the cloud up, but not last night.

Is it to-night I have a clear sky and I am sure it will stay clear. I was looking a Jupiter last night for 2 hours but didn't see anything.

Sorry guys, you're right - it is tonight!

My New Year's Eve celebrations have much to answer for...

.... It'll still be cloudy bl....dy though according to our local forecast.

As I've just posted in another thread, I don't know if these times are when the event occurs or when we see it, light taking over half an hour to reach us from Jupiter at the moment.

Thick cloud here. You just knew it of course .

Portugal looks to be the place to be......Luis Campos might grab a few....

[budski]

Ah well, ...my somewhat premature posting this morning was a self-fulfilling prophesy. Did anyone get anything from tonight?

[Luis Campos]

Cheers guys!

Yes I did got some of the event:)

Unfortunely under poor seeing but well, I got a RGB series and some red filtered ones the make a small animation, will work on this asap and post maybe tomorow

Here's a small taste:

"See" you guys tomorow

Bye,

[Virgoman]

Ahh Luis! Wonderful image already! Lovely crisp shadows and albedo features on Ganymede...sublime. You wouldn`t fancy swapping sites...lol.

Best regards,

Lovely image Luis. Really nice to see. Well done.

James

[atmenterprises]

Agree with everyone else - nice work Luis! That is an image you don't see every day.

Nice capture Luis unfortunately the event was clouded out here again!!! I was really looking forward to seeing & having a go at imaging it too.

We had some clear skies here in the NE, managed to get some images between clouds, seeing not too good. Taken with C11 @F10 DMK 21.
