Following Jay's success I'm going to try spotting the spot with the SPOC refractor tomorrow (Wednesday) morning. Both Kurt and Sky & Telescope are indicating the spot will cross Jupiter's meridian a bit after 0900 UT (0300 MDT). Happily that's about the same time Jupiter will be passing through Earth's meridian so it'll be about as high in our sky as it's going to get. I plan on getting over there about an hour before that. Anyone care to join me? patrick
