Yup, I was already out and happened upon the impending event.
As to the seeing, I had my 10" reflector out. Very distracting atmospheric
movement. I put the 10 away in favor of a 45 year old 3" f15 achro. Better,
but still tough going. I'd have gone inside altogether if not for the
satellite dance.

Hi Wayne,
The predictions are in the October Sky&Tel, p. 56, and also on their web site.
Enjoy,
Mark

Mark,
Not to steal your thunder, but where are your predictions coming from? I wish I
had known about the earlier transit, not that the seeing would have allowed me
to see it tonight. Thanks!
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Hi,
That eclipse was too cool!
There is another Io and Europa occultation and eclipse pair next Tuesday night,
occultation at 10:25PM 9/29 and eclipse at 12:13AM 9/30.
Clear skies,
Mark

Hi Tom,
I would say I saw blobs in the minutes leading up to the occultation, but as
the occultation began the seeing improved. During the occultation I could see
the elongated blob slim down to a single round disk. Then the disk
re-elongated. About 8 minutes after the occultation ended I could clearly see
separation and the moons were showing as disks most of the time. I'm using a
4" Mak at 160x. I'm over here in Chandler.

You saw discs?!? The seeing over my back yard is as bad as it has been since
before the monsoon. My scope is showing giant blobs for moons, and no more
than two vague stripes on Jupiter.
Speaking of the monsoon, can we safely say it's over? The current dewpoint in
Phoenix is 14F.
