Nice Trevor, seeing here was shocking. I watched the screen for 4 hours and then gave in when the cloud arrived. I could see a lot of detail but the planet was wobbling around all over the place. Mirror temp was 0.2 from ambient and local conditions were very still. Even high up when collimating on a star I noted quite a lot of movement. Just goes to show do not consider the jet stream charts as being accurate. It was supposed to be not present last night. Even up your way it suggested that the stream would be around 70ms which is ripping along. it is interesting to see that Callisto will not be transiting the disk for a few apparitions now due to the geometry of the alignment. If this infernal cloud and bad seeing keeps up I might have to drive up to your way and get some data.
