Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Impact site captured (really!)

Very nice capture!

I watched the shadow of Io move onto the disk last night through little holes in a cloudy sky. I packed it around 1 a.m... climbed into bed and could see Jupiter blazing on the meridian in a cloudless sky. It's been that kind of summer for me...

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.
