Jupiter with Io transiting the GRS and Ganymede on the side (30/10/23)

A quick capture  before the arrival of the Storm Ciarán and after a long drive from the Lake District, last night. Awful seeing but I was pleasantly surprised to have Io transiting over the GRS (Io is showing as the yellowish spot next to its shadow)). Ganymede is on the side; I was hoping to capture its disappearance by Jupiter's shadow. My usual 8" Dob.

Love that fact you even got clear detail on Ganymede with bad seeing, fantastic 👍

Hope you had a good weekend in the lake District Kostas 🙂

Oddly enough I was only thinking the other day I hadn't seen a transit shadow over the GRS for a long time! Well captured! Not great seeing but a very interesting record of those quirky transits that make Jupiter so special.

Thanks. It's a shame that we are missing such events due to bad weather.

We did, thank you; the weather was fine for the hikes in the morning but pouring with rain at night.

I wanted to capture the transit over the GRS but the clouds had a different idea. As you said, good for the record.  It looks we will be missing the opposition in typical British fashion this week.

Another excellent capture Kostas

Very nicely captured despite the conditions
