Wow, I had no idea capturing and processing jovian moon wasn't quite as easy as I had imagined :-(. Bad seeing really didn't help either as the black "dot" took all sort of shapes . So it was really tough to get the shadow transit shape. To get Io transit itself to show up, I
had to sacrifice other features to bring out contrast and brightness. No idea how you fine imagers got the image so very balance and a nice round globe of the jovian moon to show up (maybe more aperture). Much to learn I still have.
