Thanks Matt,

I took part in a n event last night with some friends in a local club, and the evening was nice and clear. As a result I missed capturing the Io shadow transit, Io reappearance, and the transit of the not-so GRS. When we got home, I took extra care in making sure the scope was aligned properly and when I swung onto Jupiter the high level cloud rolled in and the image was, shall we say, not optimal.

Too buggered tonight to get set up again tonight and the weather is expected to turn c*@p... Opportunities lost, however I had a ball showing the participants some of the night sky in the 4" Vixen.

Cheers
Tony
