Subject: Great Red Spot...?

I was disappointed not to catch the transit of the GRS. According to Australian Sky & Telescope the transit should`ve happened at around 11.47 pm tonight. That`s 21.22 pm + 53 minutes or 1 & 2/3 minutes late for every degree west of 121 degrees. This apparently assumes the Red Spot is at Jovian System II Longitude 121 degrees and hasn`t moved elsewhere. This is what I`m getting for 11.32 & 11.41pm. Maybe I was a little early? Mark.
