Hi All,

I took the following sequence of the Jupiter transit on the 23rd April.  

If you look carefully at the image you will see the second actual moon on the 4th, 5th & 6th picture appearing from the left.

The first moon causing the shadow on Jupiter becomes clear on the 8th and 9th image from the bottom right of Jupiter.  

You will also see the GRS, or slightly grey spot on the night appearing from the top left of the image.

These pictures we're taken during breaks or near breaks in the cloud, but it was never clear, 2/10 for seeing.

I apologise for the image quality.  It was too cloudy get really detailed images of the full transit.



A shrunk version, I think it looks better :smile:




Maybe next time I'll do better.....

Very good. You should string them into an animated GIF !

Good sequence. Please can you keep the width down though. Thanks.

Hi Chris, Hope you don't mind but...

I could not resist stringing your images together :wink:

No that's ok, save me from doing it :smile:  But next time could you rotate the planet a little :smile:
