I just fired up Starry Night Pro and Jupiter is only 43° above the horizon for the scheduled HST near miss – this may be obscured from my usual set up spot as we have a stupendously gianormous gum tree blocking most of that region, up to around 70°.

Oh well, at least I should get to see the HST/Moon pairing.
