Good job Dean. We got some rain about 6:00, a good little shower, downpour. We were out walking at the time and got soaked. Who knew, it rains in Southern Minnesota! 😮
Pretty sure it was the solar panels I was seeing when I was following it. It turned out to be somewhat easier to follow than I expected, so I did that instead of waiting for it. Figured if it got real close to Jupiter, I would see it, but never did.
I did see there were two moons on each side and one was very close, Io I guess. I was looking at it and then figured it would probably go behind. I didn't bother to look things up, but now after reading your post, I realize I was looking at it upside down. If I would have thought of that last night, I might have left the scope out to see if I could pick it up when it crossed.
