this is the beginning of transit I guess?

Thanks guys, Dave thanks for the reminder, at 3am all I could imagine was an impactor, but it could be internal weather of some sort... my money is still on the impactor

I've sent an email to CBAT.

cheers, Anthony

Anthony best of luck with CBAT. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you. They can be a little harsh and formal in correspondence so don't be discouraged if they sound downbeat about it, that's just the way they work.

Frank,

that is now out of date:) The transit time for tomorrow morning is 03:01BST, So imaging 1.5 hours either side of that should show it up.

Mine too. One would expect a weather even to appear over a longer period of time. There is no hint of this spot in very recent images. Whatever caused it happened very dramatically. So fingers crossed!
