Hi,
I got Jupiter this morning about a 1/2 hour after dawn (5:20 a.m.). It was quite light already but the planet was real nice. I saw three of the Gallilean moons and saw the fourth one as a shadow transit. It was clearly a black dot between the equitorial belts. It was easier to see at 163x than at 180x I guess due to seeing. (Don't anyone tell me now that I was wrong and that there was no transit this morning.)
How long after dawn was the latest anone out there caught a transit?

I catch them quite regularly maybe 12-13 hours after dawn... smile

Glad you were able to see a transit, I just love em.
