Hello to all,

 

Some nice seeing early in the evening allowed us to visualise Rhea & it's shadow crossing the disk. Enceladus & shadow were also on the disk making this a double shadow&moon transit, however after their ingress conditions deteriorated and made the task of resolving them against the disk next to impossible...we could not confirm them in animations of the frames - yet.

 

Jupiter later on presented a reasonably good resolution throughout the disk, some interesting formations in the GRS vicinity.
