Jupiter, Io, GRS & ISS

[davidpretorius]

Ok,

Sunday morning around 3.20 am ISS will be hurtling towards jupiter at 16 degrees above the horizon according to my starry night program.

Also IO makes a transit and the GRS is there to have a go at as well around that time

So Sir knights, i charge thee, to get thy imaging digits out of they backsides and pray to the weather and seeing gods that this will be a good one!!!

Which version of Starry Night you running?

Santa was nice enough to slip SN Enthusiast 5.0 in my stocking.

I'll be upgrading to Starry Night Pro 5 very soon.:)

I had a look on my Starry Night Pro, but it says the ISS is below the horizon for both Lonnie and Hobart. I haven't updated the ephemeris data for the satellites for ages, so it could be that, but are you sure Dave?

The forecast said overnight showers, but it was clear at 9:30pm, clear at 12:30am, but when my alarm went off at 3:30am, it was cloudy and raining.

Hate it when the weather man is right.
