I have some more AVIs to process but wanted to get one done quickly. Ganymede in transit and with shadow visible. Taken with DFK21AU618:

Is that the planet itself just down there on limb at about 8 o'clock? I don't recall seeing a paler patch that colour in that area recently.

Ganymede itself is at about 7 oclock and its shadow at about 5 oclock. I need to process a few more files which may show it entering transit better.

Fantastic - been watching this myself tonight - looking forward to your final version!

Yes, I meant 7 o'clock. No idea why I typed 8

I caught it on the opposite limb later in the evening on my ASI120MC thread in the Camera section. I think this camera is a serious competitor for the DFK21.

Here's another taken after Ganymede's shadow exited but whilst still in transit. I'll need to enhance further to show the transit I think. I have a few more AVIs to process.

Without a barlow prior to Ganymede beginning transit
