Anyone wanting to observe the GRS, tonight Jupiter offers up a good time for observing the big red storm.

It should be in the middle of the face at about 9:45-10pm tonight AEST.. a good time to get out after Desperate Housewives has finished

Plus, Jupiter should be almost overhead at that time, reducing atmospheric refraction and providing a good opportunity for some imaging if you're that way inclined.

I might get out myself tonight and try Gary's 2.4x barlow.

Went out and spent 30 minutes after Desperate Housewives, but seeing was shocking so the images turned out pretty crap.

Anyway here they are:
