    And even double, to increase my happiness Ganymede and Europe gave a show in the skies of Brazil. Otherwise, it was because of the large number of clouds, which forced me to make the catches in the few loopholes in order to obtain these images. To end the suffering, after 5:30 the metro train starts to pass every 5 minutes 100 meters from my house.

    Unbelievably beautiful!

    One of my favorite targets is Jupiter.

    I still remember the night about 19 years ago when you I was able to snag my first shadow transit with my beginner scope, the 114mm F8 Tasco reflector. I don’t remember the eyepiece, but it was either a Hands On Optics plossl or a Huygens that came with the scope.

    I recall how sharp and surreal Jupiter looked, especially with the BB hole in the Southern Hemisphere. That dark spot was an amazing site and went a long way toward making me a visual planetary/bright DSO observer.

    Isn’t it incredible, during a planet transit, how the moons circle so slow (with Jupiter in the background) that our eyes cannot perceive the movement, but we can see the change of location.

    Your pics bring back some wonderful memories for me. Thank you for sharing.
