Jarrod, nicely captured!

Thank you so much for sharing.
32 years till your next one? .... wow!
A few days ago we had a double shadow transit of Io & Europa. I didn't find out till very late that night when a friend of mine told me. It was visible across all of Australia. But it was wall to wall cloud here so I missed out
.
So, errrr.... sorry Lindon, I would've given you the heads up if I had more notice.
When I first saw a shadow transit, it was quite by accident. I was observing Jupiter and this black speck of dirt I was seeing in my eyepiece was really bugging me
. I couldn't wait to give it a good ol' clean.
Then the penny dropped.
I was experiencing my very first shadow transit, confirmed on my sky programme.
I embraced that "speck of dirt"
and I could've smacked myself for thinking of how annoying it was
