We have a very nice cloud cover

I am out and watching the Jupiter Europa show.  Clear and decent seeing here.  
 

I just watched the moon egress off of Jupiter’s disk, and the shadow is over the GRS.

 

Soon Io will pass behind the gas giant.

 

All of this visible in my little 92mm Stowaway.

Europa has cleared the planet, and its shadow is about 1/4 of the way across Jupiter's disk.  I'm observing the event with my 6" Apertura AD6 Dob and a 6mm Tele Vue Delos (200x) and a Baader Planetarium Moon & Skyglow filter.

Does that screen shot show the NEB breakout as well? A few days ago I think I saw it.

 

I WAS going to do some lunar tonight but the clouds were too think.
