Default Reasonable seeing tonight

Seeing last night was reasonable at around 7-8/10, but some Jet stream movement taking the extra sharp detail away.

Still was nice to capture Calisto as it moved in front of the planet, yes that is Calisto and not the shadow. Some interesting feature going on in the SEB too.

Of interest for me is that Callisto has apparent detail on it. I saw this on the raw frames as I was imaging. I don't know but I think this might be a first. I don't think anyone has captured this level of detail before on this particular moon. I could be wrong though.

I have never seen such an outstanding level of detail on Callisto in an amateur image either.
