As luck would have it, as if this was never going to happen, clear skies all day with Sth / SE winds and as it got toward sunset the clouds blew in. Not an unusual occurrence at this time of the year when there are onshore winds which is common in spring around here.
CFN were predicting a favourable jetstream passing overhead and the scope was set up in readiness of the cloud breaking up and allowing a peek at least. Managed to capture some video for processing but the local winds were affecting the seeing so the image was wavering around . The clouds became thicker and more menacing after that and the radar was showing some showers moving up the coast so that put a stop to any more astro for the night.
Will attach a stacked image of early in Europas' shadow ingress.
