Jupiter Double shadow transit

[gaa_ian]

Has anyone else looked at the excellent double shadow transit tonight :eyepop:
Amazing sight, especially watching one of the moons egressing the limb of Jupiter.
Should be able to get some shots soon, now I have a camera adaptor.

I have a Canon A70 (well it is my wifes) & just got the universal camera adaptor from Astronomy online.
Also Have an LPI, perhaps I will get better results with the LPI ?
Unfortunatly I was not set up for tonight :violin:
It was a great sight though & I was hoping someone else captured it

I saw in "Jupiter 2" that it was happening, but after only 2 hours sleep the night before, last night was an early one for me :( Would've loved to get some images of it. I hope some others do.

we suffered from that high fluffy, white stuff that teased, you could see a dull dot but that was it. :sad:

Ahhhhhh, tonight was to be the coup de whatever.
I started at 1740 local, just on dark, as Ganymede was transiting, and ended up getting clouded off/fogged off (make that annoyed) at about 2230. A combination of high cloud, fog, and severe dew (to the secondary) made for a teeth knashing time.
Plan of the day(night) was to capture every 5 minutes, and produce an animation of this event. It didn't happen. BUT........ the slave is working as we speak, so maybe. Watch this space.
