An hour and a half of the mighty giant

[Branden]

Spent well over an hour observing Jupiter. Only one discrepancy: Starry Night Pro Plus showed the red storm appearing around 0730 GMT but in my observations I could clearly define the red storm in the southern hemisphere cloud band. Unless perhaps I was seeing things? Anyway, only moons visible when I started observing around 0221 GMT were Io and Ganymede, but after about a half hour into it Europa popped into view. Seeing conditions were about a 2 or 3 (1 being best, 8 being worst) and transparency was also about 2 or 3.

440x huh.  Impressive.  In our hazy skies tonight it wasn't worth it to pull past 150x here.

Nice report and sketch.
