That looks great! Ganymede's shadow is going from round to elongated as it reaches the limb. It really puts the whole interstellar motion in perspective.

Fantastic again!!!  And now i'm kicking myself - why oh why oh why did i not give it another half hour at the eyepiece on Saturday morning when i was watching the single Europa shadow transit to see if i could see Europa itself enter across the face of the planet? I would have known exactly where to look. Doh!

I noticed that. Its a strange effect. But one that makes perfect sense. The angle of the shadow being more elongated. I think it was more noticeable because of the size of the shadow itself

Fantastic. Great to see a bit of detail on Ganymede too.
