Description

Observed GRS transit on Friday evening ahead of Christmas weekend.  Reasonable seeing persisted for about half an hour after sunset allowing me to record enough data for this view.  Jupiter was only 3° away from the waxing gibbous Moon in a still fairly bright dusk sky at 8:36 pm AEDT.

This is a collage view with north-up orientation at left.   Few outbreaks can be seen in the NEB and in the SEB ahead of the storm.  Some detail is also visible inside the GRS itself, less so in polar latitudes.  Derotation of approx. 6000 frames.
