I don't know very well why. I know it's a small scope (76mm), but I thought the storm was big enough to see it with it...
However, I have your images to follow it's evolution and that's something for what I'm really greatful. Thanks a lot for sharing, Trevor.

Cheers, Luis.

Thanks Luis, still growing at an amazing rate, I think you should see it with your scope. I noticed on CN that Rafael Defavare in Sao Paulo Brazil has imaged it with a 90mm refractor and a DSLR. In his image the storm is very bright, even with a small scope.

This storm Luis is enormous and just so bright. I have been having pretty crook seeing in the mornings but even so, I can still see the storm in the live feed of all channels, even when the image is distorted by the crook seeing.
