Observing a Galilean satellite go into or emerge from eclipse by Jupiter is one of my favorite aspects of observing Jupiter. The past two mornings I was fortunate enough to witness two of these events.
At 8:06 UT on 2004/2/25 I watched Europa disappear using the 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain (162 and 259x) at the ASH Naylor Observatory (see http://www.astrohbg.org ).
This morning (2004/2/26) at 8:11 UT I viewed the eclipse of Io with the same instrument at 259x (25mm Celestron orthoscopic).
