Re: [Utah-astronomy] Possible Jupiter impact
Anyone have ephemeris for when the spot will next be visible? From another group, I understand it is a CM II 216°. - Kurt

You may have to just extrapolate, using the posted photo of it in relation to the red spot. But if you find hard data, please post it. Observing during the week is currently not an option for me. On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 11:35 AM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:

Here is a link to a Hubble photo of the SL-9 impact sites, for comparison. The latitude of the new impact is surprisingly similar. http://www.amara.com/sl9/sl9_impactR.html The SL-9 impacts were very visible in a small telescope.
From the S&T Website:
"The spot is located near Jupiter's System II longitude 210°. For the predicted times when it will cross the planet's central meridian, add 2 hours and 6 minutes to each of our predicted transit times for Jupiter's Great Red Spot<http://www.skyandtelescope.com/skytel/beyondthepage/41085997.html>.
