[AZ-Observing] Jupiter Tonight

The seeing was really excellent tonight. Jupiter is showing a lot of detail.
Did anyone who looked tonight see the high contrast spot in the N Eq Belt?
It was embedded in the belt, was rotating with the planet and crossed the
central meridian at the same time (roughly) as Io was occulted by Jupiter
(21:56 according to my software). This wasn't a moon shadow as there were
no transit events in progress. I was using a 4" refractor at 100X, so fairly
menial equipment showed the spot.
