Re: interesting jupiter tonight
|
Im seeing subarcsecond detail on jupiter now: inside the GRS and in fine arcs around it.?
Still cant convince myself that Io is right beside its shadow. Someone with better color vision tgan me might. (Pizzle?)
The GRS and Io's shadow are easily seen. But i can't see Io itself. Seeing not as good as i had hoped. Scope also has some tube currents.
The great red spot will be on the face of jupiter tonight around
22:29, accompanied by Io and Io's shadow. This is unusual becaues Io
and it's shadow will be less than an arcsecond apart and are both
right on the north edge of the GRS.
Usually, Io is near impossible to see when its in front of jupiter.
But tonight, with the GRS and IO's shadow localizing it, it may be
possible to spot it. You'll know when you see IO, it is distinctly
yellow.
