Down here it was a brilliantly clear night with high transparency but alas abysmal seeing. Jupiter's disk was boiling even at only 62X. Not a chance of seeing the shadow ingress.
I contented myself with some low power exploring of the hidden gems in and around Carina.

The reversal was also a slow affair, with the shadow touching the limb at 22.18 and finally exiting at 22.29. (Note, I amended my previous post, as I made a typo re the time)
I used my Vixen 115mm and a 7mm Delite EP (127x).
Steve, Carina certainly is a lovely area, where the more U look, the more U find!
