Hi I just happened to have taken this very bad picture, but I couldn't help but notice a small black dot on it. The picture was taken on April 7th around 22:36 can anyone confirm if this is Io's shadow?

Mauricio.

Mauricio,

Assuming it was taken at 2236UT, that would be the shadow of Io. It would have been a nice picture opportunity if the seeing had cooperated as Ganymede was just off the right side of the planet as you have it oriented.
