Thank you for sharing, Dave.  Your dedication to helping the community actually experience these events is noted and very much appreciated.  If the clouds move out I'm planning to take a scope out tonight just to see these transits.

I was out observing Jupiter last night.  The seeing was better than expected.  But I had to content myself with some early views, including the egress of Ganymede.  It was too cold and windy, and I was too tired for midnight!
