While my above posting may not have eluded I too partook in this fine spectacle. I had taken possesion of a new scope, an Intes Micro MN76 (yes another one), and we were fooling around just on dark. There was high cloud, and rain due later. The moon provided a very pleasing first light, and then Jupiter. Scope etc was put away, and I considered the evening finished especially with the impending weather. I took another look about 1 - 2 hours later and to my surprise it wasn't raining, and was actually clearish, well clear enough for another play.
Scope/mount etc was out in quick time, and Jupiter again the centre of attaention. Though the cloud was a pain the seeing was pretty good, and it was apparent that the double transit was happening (even though I didn't know about it prior to looking). I quickly set up for a rushed avi, and the cloud made it's presence known. I need 1/25th second, with the brightness at 50% and the gain at MAX!!! I took a sequence anyway, and got the slave to look at them today. So So, but better than I expected.
Roll on some decent weather
