This sketch shows the beginning of Io's transit. Its shadow was preceding it across the face of Jupiter while Io itself hung just off the limb. It looked so striking that I felt like I had to try and capture it.
Something new--I added Io and its shadow digitally using my field notes. It is easy to make the shadow with pencil, but I've never been really satisfied with the results of color pencils when trying to render a moon off the limb. Io may be a little big in the sketch--the next dot down on my processing software was too small. Suggestions welcome.
