A few of us SLASers are using the Big Scope at SPOC to observe the show now. Other SLASers are welcome to come on out. Patrick Canopus56 wrote:

P.S. in MDT times with a 6 hour UTC offset that is:
08:54 PM Europa moves in front of Jupiter disk 09:30 PM Civil twilight 10:18 PM Io moves in front of Jupiter disk 11:02 PM Astronomical twilight 11:20 PM Europa shadow moves over Jupiter disk 11:29 PM Io shadow moves over Jupiter disk 11:35 PM Europa moves off of Jupiter disk 12:29 AM Io moves off Jupiter disk 01:39 AM Io shadow leaves Jupiter disk 01:59 AM Europa shadow leaves Jupiter disk
Thanks Kurt for making the conversions to MDT. It makes things a whole lot easier not having to remove my shoes... ;) Quoting Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com>:

Using the Big Scope at SPOC several of us watched as Io passed in front of Jupiter and then promptly vanished. Worked on the Big Scope's pointing accuracy for a while and then watched as Europa's and Io's shadows moved onto the Jovian disk in quick succession. Very easy to see the shadows. Like two ink dots. Then watched Europa egress the disk. That done we switched to M-51. Easy to see the spiral structure. M-27 filled the field. M-57 bared its central star with averted vision at 200x. 400x made it even easier. We are SLAS members, after all, so after all of that it's time for ATS at the Flying J. Patrick
