Jupiter's Red Spot

Tonight we viewed Jupiter's red spot for the first time. We learned about the time it would be visible from Sky & Telescope Magazine's website. We viewed it from in front of our apartment building in Staten Island. The clouds rolled in so we weren't able to view it for a long time, but we were able to catch a glimpse of it. We used our high powered eyepiece to view it.
