I don't recall ever having had such a clear view of a Jovian moon crossing the face of the planet--(8/12 4:40 UT)--just got my sv102ed back from stellarvue a few days ago, with a new optic, very well corrected--ganymede is approaching the CM of the planet, in the latitude of the NTB, and clear as day at 160X. Anybody else seeing this? Shadow transit to start in about 2 hours. Well, back to the eyepiece!
