Dark impact mark in Jupiters south polar region

Hi all, Dave, your shot from last night is what I observed through my 8" SCT ay x160 andx200. It looked like a moon shadow and was plainly visible when the seeing was very good.

Keith..

Wow! How many of us have imaged something that made the HST want to take a peek! WOW!

Michael.

I went back and had a second go at reprocessing it

I think I prefer this colour hue. it pretty much represents how it was in the eyepiece.
Looking forward ot the next clear night to see how much it has changed.

Did anyone see anything on RTE about this event??

Second image is a lot better.
Was there something on RTE about it?
I saw a lot about it on the American news channells alright.

yea, some channels carried it, I dont think RTE did, anyone see it on their news programs or on the radio? I wouldnt be too surprised if they decided to pass it by.

I was thinking about this impact, comparing it to SL9, is it possible that this thing is part of a longer string of objects? it might be worth monitoring jupiter for more impacts over the coming week, pure speculation of course, it worth monitoring anyway just to see how the impact site evolves.

Dont suppose anyone took any deepsky images around jupiter in recent weeks before the impact?
