This is a report from the Arizona-Florida-Spain team at the 4.2 m WHT telescope in La Palma: 1.On July 19 we obtained spectra of Europa during the period of the predicted L impact as well as imaging of Jupiter. The spectra showed no obvious evidence of a flash but more detailed analysis is necessary. The Jupiter images showed the L impact spot with structure similar to that reported by us on July 18 for the site of the H impact. The sites of several other impacts were also evident in our methane(8920 A) and continuum (9480 A) filters.

2. On July 20 Jupiter images in the same two bands showed the effects of impact Q as well as previous impacts.

3. Both nights were affected by high altitude dust from the Sahara.
