Moon's at transit about 21:48 GMT. Schroter's Valley should be nicely near the terminator. Not sure what the seeing will be like. Unlikely Jupiter will be sharp with the jet-stream. The big 'J' is never easy even in good seeing. Ganymede transit 23:59 - 01:20 (local time).

May be time to unleash the beast (aka The Big Mak).

No clouds, for a change, but the jet stream isn't well placed.

Purple-white can be around 400 KPH!

Just had a quick look out and Vega and Altair are twinkling quite a bit so you may be right about the Jetstream.

Yeah, I was talking about this to Rob recently. That site is usually correct. The fast air must cause a lot of turbulence, hence bad seeing. Big Mak's outside cooling down. Seeing doesn't look brilliant. No clouds though, yay! Saturn's more or less at transit, Jupiter and Luna are rising in the east. This will be a planetary session. Good luck for later on.
