Subject: Jupiter 07 August/ GRS transit and impact scar


Hi all,


I had an opportunity to image Jupiter last night - first since 2007 as Jupiter has finally moved above the power lines that line my backyard.  The GRS was just past transit when I was able to pick up the impact scar rotating into view. This quick recording through the red filter shows the separation between the two:

It was a nice night of activity, with an eclipse and occultation of Europa by Io. Hope to have some time over the weekend to put together some finished images.


best wishes,

Alan
