[Lvas] Sketch of Jupiter w/impact site

[Jonathan Kade]

Hello,

We finally got clear skies coincident with a transit of the impact
site last night.  The scar has been nicknamed "Bird's Strike" on
cloudynights, after the discoverer's nickname.   I managed to see the
impact site just past transit when Jupiter rose about 10:50 PM, though
the scar was still fairly near the center.

Here's the sketch.  Apologies for the lack of artistic talent.

I very excited to finally see it and happy it hadn't faded much since
discovery.  The shadow transit of Io was a very nice bonus.

I hope the weather clears up there soon.

Regards,

Jonathan
