Made a second visual observation of the Jovian impact scar last night when it was on the meridian at 03.45. Despite the poor seeing I could make out its very dark colour and irregular shape which looked elongated in a horizontal direction. Four of the brightest Moons where on view aligned in pairs on either side of the planet along with a bright field star to the SW of the high power FOV. Quite a treat!. Used 8.5" F/7 reflector with 9.7mm eyepiece.
