Hello,

Seeing was around 7/10 with 5/5 transparency. This is the first clear night in a week. Typhoon season has began and seeing has dropped from the usual perfect nights!

I was fortunate to be able to capture my first double transit for the season. In this image Io's and Ganymede's shadow are transiting the Jovian disk!

There are also a lot of interesting features in Jupiter most notable the red SSTB bar. The NEB still has the dark spots. While there is an interesting EB Festoon just above Europa's Shadow.

Regards,

Chris

A very nice result of a pretty rare event smile

Youll have Jupiter still for some months yet at Cebu...
