I was unable to see Europa, but its shadow was very distinct. I think Europa was over a white band, so it was white on white.
Seeing was not great, but there were moments of decent clarity, and moments of complete fuzz. In the brief time I tested the wind speed it varied from 2.5 to 7 mph. Temp. 52 F.
We three sheep of Encke B... 35 W, 1.5 N degrees, Rukl plate 30
The Moon was a pleasure. Lots of sheep out.
Unfortunately, my 9v battery gave out and the mount stopped tracking before I had time to identify much. Time to make the 12v battery adaptor chord. At least I got some pleasure cruising done.
Viewing mostly done with binoviewer, 10mm orthos, and 10" Maksutov-Cassegrain.
