Observed the late stages of this event last night from Japan under quite good seeing conditions with powers up to 300x producing steady images. The tiny Titan shadow crossed the plant's globe at a high northern latitude.

Scope: Obsession f4.5 15-inch Dobsonian with Paracorr and Radian 8mm EP (274x).
