Hi All
Like quite a few others on here I was out on Friday night , Saturday morning getting some images of the Ganymede transit. Didn't come out as well as I'd hoped as the seeing wasn't as good as forecasts suggested. The jetstream was supposed to be quite gentle but a warmish N/NW breeze came up after midnight and that always spells trouble for getting steady skies and the breeze was just enough to make the scope move around. Doesn't make for ideal conditions for capturing detail, anyway I tried and there isn't another such transit for a while..
