Jupiter IO Shadow + flare

[frodri]

Very strong moon glare; so turned up to Jupiter. Fantastic view; one of the nicest I've ever had! Clearly saw Io starting its transit, and then later managed to see Io shadow on Jupiter, very close to the red spot ! Whilst this was going on, I saw some object traverse the FOV, directly on front of Jupiter (along its meridian, moving from South to North, relative to Jupiter). This must have been either a satellite or small meteor, and occurred at 21:12 UT. Did anyone else spot this?

Iridium 12 passed NE to SW just above Jupiter around that time

Exciting. I am looking forward to watch Jupiter and the moons transits.
