Great fun to watch - probably the best day seeing-wise Melbourne has had in two months.
Got some lovely crisp views of Jupiter too - superb detail. |
I had impression that it took some (short) time before it disappeared completely.. like 10~30 ms?
And yes, Jupiter was wonderful.. I even saw a shadow of one of the moons (Europa) very clearly
.
Very good seeing.. if only it was not so cold...
