GRS and Europa shadow transit, now showing.

[Laurie61]

Just a quick heads up for anybody with a clear sky  as above and visible for 2 hours for both GRS and shadow transit.

Thanks for the heads up.

Scope out and cooling! New 82A Filter first light only 30mins away (cloud/children/local government permitting).....

Well the conditions here are OK, Europa's shadow looks to be over a light patch in the EQ band making it look like an eye staring back ! Moons are not quite disc's but coming and going with good longish moments of steady seeing.  GRS very easy.

Managed to catch it between the clouds earlier. Shadow was pretty much on the GRS, as you say it was a fairly easy spot in not what I would call the best seeing conditions down here.

Was the first time tho that I can say I saw Ganymede as a disc and not just as a point. That was very cool.
