Jupiter Double shadow transit

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Has anyone else looked at the excellent double shadow transit tonight
Amazing sight, especially watching one of the moons egressing the limb of Jupiter.
Should be able to get some shots soon, now I have a camera adaptor.

here Ian. Hope you get some good shots to show us. What are you using?

I have a Canon A70 (well it is my wifes) & just got the universal camera adaptor from Astronomy online.
Also Have an LPI, perhaps I will get better results with the LPI ?
Unfortunatly I was not set up for tonight
It was a great sight though & I was hoping someone else captured it

I saw in "Jupiter 2" that it was happening, but after only 2 hours sleep the night before, last night was an early one for me Would've loved to get some images of it. I hope some others do.

we suffered from that high fluffy, white stuff that teased, you could see a dull dot but that was it.

Ahhhhhh, tonight was to be the coup de whatever.
I started at 1740 local, just on dark, as Ganymede was transiting, and ended up getting clouded off/fogged off (make that annoyed) at about 2230. A combination of high cloud, fog, and severe dew (to the secondary) made for a teeth knashing time.
Plan of the day(night) was to capture every 5 minutes, and produce an animation of this event. It didn't happen. BUT........ the slave is working as we speak, so maybe. Watch this space.

I got a lovely view.... the shadows slowly crept thier ways accross the planet.... too bad it was cloudy.
