Io
Hazy clouds greatly distorted my view of last night event, however, I was able to confirm that Io transited across Jupiter, just north of the North Equatorial Belt. I could barely see the shadow because of the haze, but it did appear to straddle the northern edge of the same Belt. (Using Vixen ED 81mm with 90x & 125x)
Future events, which I will attempt to view:-
14/5 19:40 Io eclipse reappearance
14/5 Callisto passed to the north of the Jupiter around Noon, I will observe how far Callisto's current position is from the planet.
18/5 0.40 Ganymede occultation disappearance.
