Title: Good weather for Jupiter
Post by: MarkS on Sep 27, 2011, 16:29:29

The unusually favourable weather conditions brought by the high pressure area mean that the next few days are likely to provide our best opportunity this year for high resolution observing and imaging of the planet Jupiter.

I, for one, certainly intend to be out there!

Meteoblue and Skippy Sky both predict good seeing.  The Unisys forecast is equally favorable.
