Hi Jim;

Very nice shot. Jupiter was below my horizon when you took that shot.

If you compare the position of the impact to the white spot above it and then look at this image (from Space Weather) on July 31:

, you can see it has moved considerably and stretched out.

TTYL..

OK,

This time I really got it and only because I wasn't trying for it!  I was really after the Io transit and thought that based on the GRS transit at about 9pm local time, by midnite when Jupiter gets decently high enough in the sky the impact site would have rotated out of view.  But as you can see I just caught it on its way out.  Another 15 minutes and it would be hard to see at all.
