Default Jupiter impact spot still visible?

Does anyone here know"?

A freind and I observed it last week with his 9.25" sct, low in the west and
poor seeing. The impact site looked like a gray smudge - visible but only
just.

Is anyone here doing astronomy?


There are some/many? posts that indicate that folks are doing astronomy.

Is anyone here looking at Jupiter?


This evening, I and others in our club are doing an observing event at a
camp for kids with cancer, and we expect to provide some great views of
Jupiter, Callisto and Ganymede, and maybe Neptune, as well as other
impressive targets. Unfortunately, no transits/shadow transits happening.
