Jupiter dark spot on band

I've currently (11:30pm) got the scope pointed at Jupiter. I'm getting a good view with a 10mm eyepiece and a 2x barlow, and can see a dark spot on one of the two main bands.

Is it a shadow transit?

Quite excited that I can use the barlow tonight, has previously not worked well with the conditions.

By the way, fantastic conditions here on the coast of Norway at the moment. Been observing Jupiter for hours with magnification 150x - 250x, depending on how often I want to nudge the scope. Shadowtransit and the GRS, a beautiful sight.

Can also see a thin cloud (?) going out from the Northern belt into the equatorial zone and kind of looping back into the belt.

North temperate belt is also quite prominent.

Callisto shadow transit, parallell with the northern EQ belt, isnt it?

I had a look at it in Stellerium (which shows the shadow) before going to bed, and ran it backwards and forwards in time. Looking at the movement of the shadow and the moons, it did look like it was Callisto.
