Jupiter, Io shadow transit. 9th September 2022

[Simon128D]

Had a lovely clear night on the 9th and seeing was much better than what we are used to here so it was exciting to get the C11 setup for a go at the beautiful Io tranist with shadow transit. 

To the eyepiece it was super crisp with the shadow inky black and the white oval storm on the sourthern hemisphere was incredible and popped so well in moments of better seeing. 
I started imaging about 10 minutes before the shadow transit started at 23:15 and finished imaging about 00:30. 

Here an animated gif of my efforts and then below is a landscape including the grabs of Saturn and Mars I got and I did not expect Mars to by any good at all being so low for me and just kissing the top of a large field - which no doubt was dumpoing out a lot of thermals.

Very nice, your animation is pretty cool.

Great animation. Reminds me of a recent view I had through my 155mm Apo in good seeing at 174x. Well done indeed.
