Jupiter 06/15 DOUBLE TRANSIT!

Finally it's double transit night. The sky is clear except for some haze. Sadly, seeing was was terrible at around 5-7/10 with 3/5 transparency.

Anyway, I was able to scrape some images. In image below you have 3 satellites and the GRS. Europa is on the left on it's way to Jupiter's back. Ganymede is the dark feature on the NNTB. While Io is on the right headed for the double transit. Note the bright round spot on the EB/NEB border on the left side of Jupiter.

The image below is the image of the double transit! It's not that great because of deteriorating seeing but you have Io on the right side of the NEB and Ganymede on the left side corner of the NNTB.

Thanks for the compliments! Last night was really frustrating considering I had exceptional good seeing last Tuesday. Nature sure likes to play tricks on us! Getting good color balance was also tough especially with the moon close by...
