I looked hard at Jupiter this morning around 5am with an 8" reflector and 360x magnification, but no joy. Approx. equatorial transits of Callisto and Io's shadow were no problem to pick up some six hours earlier. I don't think I'm going to see it visually Has anyone observed the "Bird Strike"?

Edit: just saw a report on CN of a possible early sighting at 131x in a 12.5" reflector.
