Saturn: equatorial spot ephemeris by M.Delcroix |
A spot in Saturn's equatorial zone has been observed simultaneously by several observer on June 21st, here is my image of it under average conditions: It had been observed previously, I found several observations, compute its drifting rate (confirmed by the pros) and prepare for you an ephemeris of its central meridian transit (under bracket its longitude) - observe between }2h from the time given: WinJUPOS 10.1.15 (Saturn), C.M. transit times, 2015/06/24 23:42 Object longitude: L3 = 107,7 - 37,0743/d * (T - 2015 May 20,5) Time interval: 2015 Jun 20,0 ... 2015 Jul 31,0 Output format: Date UT (C.M. of System 3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2015 Jun 20 03:55 ( 51) 14:07 ( 35) 2015 Jun 21 00:18 ( 19) 10:29 ( 3) 20:41 ( 348) 2015 Jun 22 06:52 ( 332) 17:04 ( 317) 2015 Jun 23 03:15 ( 301) 13:26 ( 285) 23:38 ( 269) 2015 Jun 24 09:49 ( 253) 20:01 ( 238) 2015 Jun 25 06:12 ( 222) 16:23 ( 206) 2015 Jun 26 02:35 ( 191) 12:46 ( 175) 22:58 ( 159) 2015 Jun 27 09:09 ( 143) 2015 Jun 28 05:32 ( 112) 15:43 ( 96) 2015 Jun 29 01:55 ( 80) 12:06 ( 64) 22:18 ( 49) 2015 Jun 30 08:29 ( 33) 18:40 ( 17) 2015 Jul 01 04:52 ( 2) 15:03 ( 346) 2015 Jul 02 01:15 ( 330) 11:26 ( 314) 21:37 ( 298) 2015 Jul 03 07:49 ( 283) 18:00 ( 267) 2015 Jul 04 04:12 ( 252) 14:23 ( 236) 2015 Jul 05 00:35 ( 220) 10:46 ( 204) 20:57 ( 188) 2015 Jul 06 07:09 ( 173) 17:20 ( 157) 2015 Jul 07 03:32 ( 141) 13:43 ( 125) 2015 Jul 08 10:06 ( 94) 20:17 ( 78) 2015 Jul 09 06:29 ( 63) 16:40 ( 47) 2015 Jul 10 02:52 ( 31) 13:03 ( 15) 2015 Jul 11 09:26 ( 344) 19:37 ( 328) 2015 Jul 12 05:49 ( 312) 16:00 ( 296) 2015 Jul 13 02:12 ( 281) 12:23 ( 265) 22:35 ( 250) 2015 Jul 14 08:46 ( 234) 18:57 ( 218) 2015 Jul 15 05:09 ( 202) 15:20 ( 186) 2015 Jul 16 01:32 ( 171) 11:43 ( 155) 21:55 ( 139) 2015 Jul 17 08:06 ( 123) 2015 Jul 18 04:29 ( 92) 14:40 ( 76) 2015 Jul 19 00:52 ( 61) 11:03 ( 45) 21:15 ( 29) 2015 Jul 20 07:26 ( 13) 17:38 ( 358) 2015 Jul 21 03:49 ( 342) 2015 Jul 22 00:12 ( 310) 10:23 ( 294) 20:35 ( 279) 2015 Jul 23 06:46 ( 263) 16:58 ( 247) 2015 Jul 24 03:09 ( 231) 13:21 ( 216) 23:32 ( 200) 2015 Jul 25 09:44 ( 185) 19:55 ( 169) 2015 Jul 26 16:18 ( 137) 2015 Jul 27 02:29 ( 121) 12:41 ( 106) 22:52 ( 90) 2015 Jul 28 09:04 ( 74) 19:15 ( 58) 2015 Jul 29 05:27 ( 43) 15:38 ( 27) 2015 Jul 30 01:50 ( 11) 12:01 ( 355) 22:13 ( 340) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Marc Delcroix Tournefeuille,France]
