Jean-François, thanks for the notice. I was out last night and it was so
bright from the full moon that I could barely find Polaris and had to use the
big dipper for some of my test shots. Given the proximity of Jupiter to that
big bright moon, I am surprised you could see much of anything.

Hello Arizona observers,
This is just a short message to tell you about a nice opportunity to
look at Jupiter tonight (Saturday May 26, 2018). The great red spot
will be transiting at
23:20 (local time in Arizona) while Europa will be projecting it's
shadow across the disk of Jupiter between 22h50 and 1h05...
Thanks for JF for the alert. I wheeled my 15-inch scope out into the driveway
to create this sequence of images. Technical stuff follows the link.
