I’ve yet to see the shadow of one of the moons on the planet so I hope I can see it in my 8” DOB.

Bill, from Perth Io will start a transit at 3:03am tomorrow morning, and again at 9:32pm on Friday night. Being the closest of the big moons Io only takes a little over 2 hours to complete a transit. So using higher power you can almost see the shadow moving across Jupiter.
