To the southish there was some high cloud.  

I did get a shot at Jupiter (apologies for the quality) whilst a moon was buzzing round it, I think I have picked up either a moon shadow, a moon or it may just be a big black storm.

Can someone tell me what it is.




Thanks

Looks like it was Europa's shadow. Times given below are in GMT.

Look at that detail and he apologises for the quality !!!!
