The triple event starts at 11:28 and goes until 11:52. You haven't missed it yet. On Friday, January 23, 2015 11:15 PM, Dion Davidson via Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote: I see the two shadows really well. Still waiting for Europa. Did I miss it? Dion

The shadows of both Io and Callisto are very apparent right now. I assume it is Callisto just on the limb of Jupiter right now. at 300X the shadows are more obvious to me.

The shadows should be pretty easy to see with your SCT. I can see the shadow of Callisto pretty easily with my 8" refractor at 165X and 300X. 300X is just a bit beyond the seeing limit. The seeing is moderately good here.

How obvious will the shadows be? The three moons are beautiful all lined up towards us in 3D. But I'm not sure I will be able to see shadows. Air is not very still. I have an old 10" sct, 15mm eyepiece. Dion

I have exactly the same problem….with work, that is. However, I don’t have to get up until 05:00 on the Saturday and Sunday I’m scheduled to work. I get to sleep in, I guess. That Sand Man guy gets around. I’m afraid I may have to deal with him, too. Hopefully, he’ll pester you so much that he forgets all about me. Good luck. Sounds like you’ve got the setup all figured out.

Even if the weather cooperates up here, it's not a sure thing that I'll image this due to having to get up at 3:30 AM that morning. If I don't get a nap after work, there's simply no way I'll be able to keep my eyes open. But if the stars all align, I was planning on shooting my JVC hi-def camcorder with the 100mm ED refractor, and the DSLR with the C-6, both in tandem on the CGEM mount. I'll be shooting video with both, getting as many frames as possible to construct images and animations with.
Weather may be good but seeing is another thing entirely. A steady atmosphere will mean a higher percentage of usable frames. Jupiter rotates quickly so you can't stack frames taken at intervals longer than a few minutes.
Anyway that's the plan. Mother Nature may turn me into Rip Van Winkle instead.

So far, down here in St. George, it looks as if the weather is going to cooperate for the upcoming Jupiter event. The forecast for the Salt Lake area doesn’t look too bad either. I’m still trying to decide what camera setup would be the best. Hopefully, you guys that know what you’re doing will get some great shots you can share with the rest of us.
