Europa transit

[jb1970]

Hi all ,

Did anybody see the transits this morning? I was out from around 00:45 to 01:15 and managed to see Jupiter between all the cloud. In the clear patches I could see two moons quite close to Jupiter and a definite black dot nearly halfway across. I thought I saw a second black dot but it was in the dark belt and I couldn't be sure. According to Starry night at around 01:00 Europa was moving across Jupiter, with Ganymede and Callisto close by and Io hidden. Starry Night had Ganymede passing infront of Jupiter around 02:30. So I think I saw one of the moons in transit, but the second black dot may have just been my eyes or something else.
