Jupiter GRS Moon transit March 9th

After a terrible winter of constant wind and rain in the UK we finally had some good seeing though rather late in the day for Jupiter better late than never.

Despite thin cloud I got some pleasing shots for nearly one hour which I've put together in a animation showing the GRS and Ganymede's transit shadow with Io moving in.
Taken with the 10" Dob & colour QHY5L-II @f18. I've left the field rotation in as I can never correct the tilt without having a slight wobble.

Also attached a single shot.
