| June 14th 21h15mUT Maksutov 90mm x100 AIII/IV |
Out towards the south west, Jupiter stood all alone, in a beautiful clear darkening sky.
The Great Red Spot (GRS) was in mid transit at 20h51m UT tonight.
By my clock it was just past 21h05m UT, I was in luck and quickly grabbed the Mak90.
After a couple of minutes setup I was observing the Jupiter dance.

The GRS was easily seen; just about midway on Jupiter's disk.
The seeing this evening was terrible, I was surprised to have seen anything of the GRS.
A good night for naked eye and maybe binoculars, not a good night for telescopes.
Sometimes it's better to just put away that telescope, find a dry patch of land, lie down and simply look up at the stars.
Tonight is one of those nights.
