Summer session of an Io Eclipse

[Telescope40]

Hello all. Quick one of a very nice summer session.  C9.25 dragged out of the garage and set up in the garden on my Skytee. BV's with my TV zooms in the scope. Rather weird as I've had a house move and can,t believe the room I now have. SW aspect of the garden is pretty good. Darker skies too. No more glow from Manchester. 

Anyhow. Scope cool down not an issue. Shorts, t shirt and a cuppa - well hello Jupiter.  Nice viewing and I think a nice barge in the NEB. Three moons off to one side of the disc and no Io. 

Had already checked S&T app and Io coming out of eclipse about 11 pm.  Fascinating to watch. Took about 90 seconds to see a hint of Io to her being totally out of the shadow. 

A quick shufty around the usual suspects and then pack up.

NICE !! ??. John
