Jupiter was a bit tougher than Mars last night but I captured the Io occultation and Europa's emergence from eclipse.  All the while Callisto drifts over the northern polar region

 

In both of these animations I didn't extend my total capture time long enough to complete the event.  I chalk it up to the cold (about 0C)

Those are really wonderful captures! The structures on Jupiter are really fantastic
