Jupiter, Io, GRS & ISS

Ok,

Sunday morning around 3.20 am ISS will be hurtling towards jupiter at 16 degrees above the horizon according to my starry night program.

Also IO makes a transit and the GRS is there to have a go at as well around that time

So Sir knights, i charge thee, to get thy imaging digits out of they backsides and pray to the weather and seeing gods that this will be a good one!!!

Which version of Starry Night you running?

Santa was nice enough to slip SN Enthusiast 5.0 in my stocking.

I'll be upgrading to Starry Night Pro 5 very soon.

I had a look on my Starry Night Pro, but it says the ISS is below the horizon for both Lonnie and Hobart. I haven't updated the ephemeris data for the satellites for ages, so it could be that, but are you sure Dave?

me too

The forecast said overnight showers, but it was clear at 9:30pm, clear at 12:30am, but when my alarm went off at 3:30am, it was cloudy and raining.

Hate it when the weather man is right.
