Jupiter and the Moon imaged through my 4″ reflector with a 25 mm Plossul lens and my Canon IXUS via an eyepiece adaptor. Time is 5:52 am, Jupiters Moons are smeared due to Jupiters’ movement during the 1/8th second exposure time. Moons are, right to left, Io, Calisto, Ganymede | Time is 5:59 am |
Time is 6:02 am | Time is 6:08 am |

Although Jupiter wasn’t occulted from here in Adelaide, it looked a very fine sight close to the Moon this morning.Because the distance between Jupiter and the Moon was too great for my CCD cam field of view, I used my digital camera adaptor instead. There’s a few artefacts from internal reflections and lens fogging, but it worked pretty well. I alos got to see Eurpoa come out from Jupiter (not visible in these images).
Anybody from Darwin or Indonesia see the Occultation?
