    I was mainly lunar viewing tonight but I did get a chance at a setting twilight Jupiter. At around 22:00 BST I observed Jupiter for a few minutes at azimuth 80.4°, 14.2° altitude in Leo.

    Just long enough to see Ganymede kissing Jupiter's eastern limb before being occulted.

    It kind of made up for missing the GRS earlier.
