Hi all
On the night of the 3rd August, what started as typically below average seeing, finally improved as the seeing reached a respectable almost 7/10 and gave some of my best views of Jupiter this year.
I was able to catch (http://www.mikesalway.com.au/2009/08/04/45-cap-europa-and-io-close-approach) the 6th magnitude star 45 Cap in the same field of view as Europa and Io, which was a nice surprise.
The seeing was improving nicely, but high cloud and then thick cloud brought my night to an end. The two attachments show one in reasonably good seeing and one in typically average.

Thanks for looking.
