Jupiter & Io 15th

Last post from me, promise, I don't want to be hogging the site.
Last night had a decent look at the giant, and was waiting for the GRS, and a shadow. It was way past my bedtime, but feel it was worth it.
Mewlon 180 with Zeiss ortho 16mm (O-16), eyepiece projection.
Seeing was about 7-8/10, and while it could get better (and probably did after I packed it in) I have yet to see it.
Get out there and shoot.

P.S. I normally use a 2.5x Powermate (so F30), but the seeing wasn't up to it, and the E/P projection allows me some flexibility in image size/scale.
