Poor weather tonight Bob with clouds etc ..but glimpsed it in the Northern Equatorial Belt ; quite hard to find really in the ETX first around 1130pm in middle of the belt ..needed power used a 13mm Nagler first up ..no sighting at all ..swapped to a Barlowed 17.3 Delos for a sighting, then a 9.7mm Plossl.. much easier in the 10" SCT on the AVX MOUNT! ; still difficult to observe and no where near as obvious as Ganymede's shadow transit!
Did anyone else see this in good seeing?
