Re: [Utah-astronomy] Jupiter Impact Transit Times for SLC
Here's a photo taken 7-21-2009 3:46UT showing the spot smearing that I mentioned during the club meeting: Sean Walker on S&T http://media.skyandtelescope.com/images/Jup_by_Sean_09-07-21_03-46.jpg in http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance Compare to the July 20 discovery image with more distinct circular impact cloud in http://www.skyandtelescope.com/news/home/51237952.html Here's the UT Sky and Telescope transit times for the GRS with 2:06 added and followed by my original printout from the WinJUPOS software. They is no significant time difference from either source. Source: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/skytel/beyondthepage/41085997.html Times are GRS transit - GRS Transit plus 2:06 - MDT - WinJUPOS Obvious SLC daylight times are omitted. July 23, 7:10 - 9:16 - 3:16am MDT - 2009 Jul 23 09:25 ( 216°, 34°) July 24 3:01 - 5:07 - July 23 11:07pm MDT - 2009 Jul 24 05:16 ( 216°, 13°) July 25 8:48 - 10:56 - 4:56am MDT - 2009 Jul 25 11:03 ( 216°, 27°) July 26 4:39 - 6:45 - 12:45am MDT - 2009 Jul 26 06:54 ( 216°, 27°) July 28 6:17 - 8:23 - 2:23am MDT - 2009 Jul 28 08:32 ( 216°, 33°) July 29 2:08 - 4:14 - July 28 10:14pm MDT - 2009 Jul 29 04:23 ( 216°, 8°) July 30 7:55 - 10:01 - 4:01am MDT - 2009 Jul 30 10:10 ( 216°, 30°) Jupiter system II rotation time is 9:55. A quarter revolution is about 2.5 hours. I'm using an hour on either side of the CMII 216 deg transit time as the observing window.
That's exactly what happened to all the SL-9 spots. As the days progressed, they were drawn-out and disipated by the jet stream winds. On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
