Double Shadow Transit January 6, 2024

[orion25]

The sky was mostly clear to partly cloudy and I was fortunate to get a window between 9 and 10 p.m. EST to capture the double shadow transit here from the States. Ganymede's shadow is the larger of the two on the bottom left (moving toward bottom center) and Europa's is on the lower right, approaching the limb. The moons themselves were as follows: Io to the upper left, Europa lower right, and Ganymede bottom right (farthest out). The GRS was also visible making it a pretty spectacular apparition!

Very nice! Thanks for posting as I missed seeing any of Jupiter last night due to inevitable cloud 😞

You're welcome, Stu. It was touch and go there for a little while. Eventually, the clouds rolled in later so I'm chuffed to have gotten this!

Thanks, Geof! I was dodging cloud the whole evening. I didn't get as much data as I wanted but I'm happy with what I got

Thanks, George! I believe it was only visible from North America. I was fortunate to see it, especially dealing with the clouds, lol.
