Jupiter Io transit (14+15/10/23)

[Kon]

I finally managed to observe and image a transit in this apparition. Awful seeing due to jetstream but Io's shadow was nice and sharp. I imaged in colour but also in IR that shows Io quite nicely when it is over Jupiter's disc. My usual 8" setup.  Captured between  1130 and 1220. I quite like the symmetry of the capture on the last 4 images.

Great stuff Kostas! That looks very good considering the poor seeing. Transits are always a bonus even in less than ideal conditions.

Thanks Stuart. I only got out to capture the transit despite knowing the weather will be bad. We don't seem to get a break.

They are a good set of images Kostas despite the conditions.

Excellent set of images.
