Have to add my congrats as well Bird. I was out last night, trying to image, but it looked as though Jove was in a lava lamp, so I gave up :-(
Didn't even save an AVI, so no pre strike images from me.
Cheers
Stuart

Congrats Bird. It's been fun watching the story unfold throughout the day today. I haven't had my Dob out for months, but I'll be setting it up at ~22:00 tonight (on the off-chance it's visible through an 8"). Thankfully it's a nice clear one here in Canberra tonight.

CL, should be easily visible if the seeing is ok, I havent looked yet - Jupiter is up but still low in the east. I'll be going out to the scope at 9.30, maybe still too early but what the heck.
cheers, Bird
