Two short animations created with 12 images covering about 25 minutes from Feb 20:

and a close-up of Io and its shadow:

Heavy dewing compromised the resolution of the last few images and brought an end to observing that night.

enjoy,
Alan

ps - the files run around 400K - will take a few minutes with a dial-up connection.

Alan, a great animation, worth every minute of processing!!!

One of the most detailed animations, I have ever seen; the crisp shadow of Io reminds me of a Hubble image.

Fantastic job Alan. I saw this post briefly yesterday but Yahoo wouldn't let me in ;-(

Glad you found a way to put it up! Thanks!
