Jupiter 18-07-2021 and Ganymede transit.

[Fraunhoffer]

First light using a ADC for visual observing and had the best views of Saturn and Jupiter ive ever had.
Nice crisp rings on Saturn and 4 moons. Structure within Jupiters belts. The moon shadow and transit starting were an unexpected bonus.
I could follow Ganymedes transit for a while until the sky got light as it appeared as a brighter dot over one of the darker bands.
C8 and ZWO ADC. 15mm and 8mm BST eps, EXOS 2 mount.

Wonky spelling due to fatigue 🙂

@Fraunhoffer that is fantastic! I was observing the shadow transit as well, maybe a little earlier as the GRS was just about to disappear from view. Lovely to see the very same view put down on paper by a fellow enthusiast, I do enjoy this sense of community. Great work!

Nice sketch - I was also glued to Jupiter that night - a particularly memorable one as the seeing was so excellent.

That looks great.  It's an amazing view isn't it? And I like the way you've shown the (surprisingly striking) difference between the north and south equatorial bands.

Thank you. It was the best view ive had. Normally i get to see just a fuzzy middle band. So nice to eyeball some more details.
