Nice cold night, seeing average, managed to get a shadow, see if you can find the moon on the face of the planet. The other moon to the right is Io; coming up to an eclipse.

Thoughts?

Pretty much what I saw through my scope lastnight aswell, not having any luck videoing jupiter right now. The GRS has just gone behind the disc too.

That's a great shot Paul! I was out using the LPI for the very first time and tried to capture that, but I won't bother posting the result! The seeing was atrocious and I'm still coming to grips with the equipment. Boy those moons move fast, in no time the transit was over and it was 'kissing' the edge of the planet.

Paul, nice image of Jupiter despite the seeing. Appears you have the Toucam pro2 operationally down pat. Arethere many ToUcam users on this forum?

Many steve, most all of us who post images in this forum are ToUcam, though a few use the DSLR and a few the LPI.

Some use video camera too
